Frank Chance got his nickname "The Peerless Leader" after he led the Chicago Cubs to four pennants in five years (1906-1910).
He may be best known as the first baseman in the Tinker-to-Evers-to-Chance double play combination.
Chance was a skillful fielder and hitter; but earns special recognition as the Chicago Cubs' inspirational player-manager.
The club's 116 victories in 1906 remain unbeaten in major league history.
