I can see differences of opinion on many positions, but I am lost as to how anyone can select anyone other than Hornsby at 2nd base. Morgan was a lifetime .271 hitter(pretty piss poor for a HOFer) with a .977 fielding percentage. He had a little power and stole bases. Hornsby was a .358 lifetime hitter with a .958 fielding percentage (smaller gloves led to more errors). He had more power and probably had the greatest five year hitting stretch ever. Collins was a good hitter (.333 BA) with little power. His fielding percentage was exactly the same as Hornsby's.
