Smartest (baseball IQ at least) player ever -- John McGraw a 3B. Alternatively, another "Old Oriole" Hugh Jennings whose HBP drives his OBA up. Also most of their actual playing days was during the inflated average 1890's --

I was right about turn of the century, this makes sense, has to be McGraw.

That's it. I found it amazing that McGraw's OBP was that high. BTW, what got me on this topic was a WSJ article about someone pushing Edgar Martinez for the HOF. Martinez's OBP was a surprisingly high .418.
