Ross Youngs--John McGraw's favorite ("He was the greatest outfielder I ever saw.") . Speed, defense, and an ability to get on base. An old-time great whose career was cut short by illness. Died too young. My favorite "unknown" Hall-of-Famer.

Ross Youngs--John McGraw's favorite ("He was the greatest outfielder I ever saw.") . Speed, defense, and an ability to get on base. An old-time great whose career was cut short by illness. Died too young. My favorite "unknown" Hall-of-Famer.
