"Suatu hari dia [Wagner] memukul pemain muda yang baru saja masuk liga. Penangkapnya juga anak-anak. Pelempar melempar bola lengkung pada Honus, dan dia mengayunkannya, meleset, dan jatuh. Tampak tak berdaya seperti seekor robin. Saya agak terkejut, tetapi pria yang duduk di sebelah saya menusuk tulang rusuk saya dan berkata, "Tonton yang ini berikutnya." Anak-anak itu mengira mereka memiliki kelemahan lelaki tua itu, Anda tahu, dan menyajikan hidangan yang sama dengannya - seperti yang ia tahu mereka akan lakukan. Yah, Honus menabrak garis drive begitu keras pagar di bidang kiri bolak-balik selama lima menit."

Versi Bahasa Inggris

One day he [Wagner] was batting against a young pitcher who had just come into the league. The catcher was a kid, too . The pitcher threw Honus a curve ball, and he swung at it and missed and fell down. Looked helpless as a robin. I was kind of surprised, but the guy sitting next to me poked me in the ribs and said, 'Watch this next one.' Those kids figured they had the old man's weakness, you see, and served him up the same dish - as he knew they would. Well, Honus hit a line drive so hard the fence in left field went back and forth for five minutes.
