[edit] Biographical Information

Brother of Honus Wagner, Butts Wagner was older but came up later. In his only major league year, 1898, he played in 74 games and had 261 at-bats. Primarily a third baseman, neither his fielding percentage nor his range was very impressive.

He played in the minors from 1894-1906, primarily in the Eastern League. For five years he was a minor league teammate of Jim Connor, also a former major leaguer from the 1890's.
