Crazy. He was one of my favorite players. Gruff looking utility guy, a hustler. I remember he made a bunch of great defensive plays the first couple weeks he came up with the Reds at a bunch of different positions."No matter how great you were once upon a time — the years go by, and men forget,” - W. A. Phelon in Baseball Magazine in 1915. “Ross Barnes, forty years ago, was as great as Cobb or Wagner ever dared to be. Had scores been kept then as now, he would have seemed incomparably marvelous.”
