 | | An outstanding and graceful defensive second baseman as well (Barnes led the NA in putouts once, assists 4 times, and double plays 3 times), he was a member of baseball’s first great keystone combination due to his speed, range, accuracy, and smarts. |
 | | Certainly the greatest all-around catcher of the 1950’s in the AL and arguably the greatest major league backstop of all-time, Yogi was an elite among the elite at his position and one of the most beloved players ever. |
 | | Possessing excellent range, sure hands, and was truly outstanding on the double play, he led AL second basemen four times in that department, as well as three times in total chances, four times in putouts, four times in assists, five times in fielding percentage, and two times in games. |
