In November-December, 1997, there was a discussion on SABR-L about the Hall-of-Fame cases for Phil Rizzuto and Pee-Wee Reese. One of the issues raised was how Rizzuto compared to the "average" shortstop. One way to look at this is to take the average totals of the regular shortstops for each team in the league and then total these over a player's career.
I went the "Sports Encyclopedia: Baseball"(by Neft and Cohen) and totalled the numbers for the teams' regular shortstops, making a few changes in some recent seasons. (In 1992, Ozzie Guillen was not the White Sox regular shortstop playing in only 12 games) I used Total Baseball and the Bill James Electronic Baseball Encyclopedia from Miller Associates to get fielding statistics. Marshall Wright's Nineteenth Century Baseball (MacFarland Press) and David Nemec's The Great Encyclopedia of 19th-Century Baseball were used to determine the 19th century regulars and The Sporting News Guide and STATS, Inc. Handbooks for recent seasons. Please give credit to me if you find a use for these numbers.
The results are tabulated below.
