		Widely regarded for years as baseball's greatest third baseman, Traynor was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1948, and was honored as a member of the all-time team selected in 1969 for baseball's centennial.
		Traynor topped the.300 mark ten times, and from 1925 through 1930 batted.342 - yet, on a team with Lloyd and Paul Waner, he led the Pirates in hitting just once, with a.356 mark in 1929.
		Traynor's career and single-season marks have been far surpassed by post-WWII players Schmidt, Brooks Robinson and Graig Nettles combined offense and defense into a single package and have also contributed to Traynor's drop in the rankings of the greatest third basemen of all time.

		And as for the heavenly smell of pie fresh from the oven that wafts across the portal when poppa came home from a day’s work, well, mama, at least most mamas don’t bake much anymore, and there’s not much nostalgic aroma in a slab of ice defrosting quietly in the refrigerator.
		They could be persuaded to down a slice of pecan pie on occasion, but usually, as far as they were concerned, it was the old family recipe chocolate and to hell with the rest.
		The old family chocolate pie was a source of frustration because every so often, for no apparent reason, the filling would not set up right, and when the pie was sliced it would not hold its shape.

	Pie Traynor is to..... - NetShrine Discussion Forum
		When I was a lad, Pie Traynor was regarded as the greatest third baseman ever, largely due to his.320 lifetime average.
		Traynor's OPS+ (107) fails in slugging vs lg (435 vs 416), but any sabermetric measure can calculate how manny flyouts, 2B or 3B hit in 15 years of homefield games in old Forbes by Traynor will be meaning a Hr in other park, as Arlington Stadium, for example?
		Traynor was nothing near to Mike Schmidt as power hitter but definitive his hrs figures were reduced by the dimension of his homefield park.

	The fans speak: Mazeroski leads voting on Pirates' all-century team

		The voting had a modern flavor, with a nod to old-timers like Honus Wagner and Pie Traynor, and a not unexpected slant to the 1960 World Series champions, a team that captured the hearts of Western Pennsylvanians like no other baseball team.
		Traynor had that distinction at third base until a spate of modern players surpassed him.

		Despite the color of the ball, the Pirate legend's signature yet radiates at a strength and clarity of "9".
