Harold (Pie) Traynor was one of the finest third basemen in Major League history, earning that reputation in a 17-year playing career spent entirely with the Pirates (1920-1935, 37). Regarded as an outstanding defensive player, Traynor was also adept with the bat, compiling a lifetime .320 average. While he hit just 58 home runs, he managed to drive in 1,273 runs. Traynor ranks in the Pirates' top 10 in games, at-bats, runs, hits, singles, doubles, triples, total bases, RBIs, extra-base hits, batting average and stolen bases. The Hall of Famer (inducted in 1948) also managed the Pirates from 1934 through 1939.

Traynor, Pie | Baseball Hall of Fame
'He was a mechanically perfect third baseman,' legendary baseball executive Branch Rickey said of Pie Traynor upon his induction into the Hall of Fame. 'A man of intellectual worth on the field of play.' Traynor was widely regarded as the premier third baseman of his era-and in 1948 he became the first third baseman elected by the Baseball Writers' Association of America to the Hall of Fame.

For one generation of Pittsburghers, Pie Traynor was that tanned, silver-haired old man on Studio Wrestling. For another generation, he was the monotone voice that came out of the radio every evening to talk about sports. But for an older generation – and for most baseball fans outside the Pittsburgh area – he was the greatest third baseman of their time.
