Wikipedia - "Walter James Vincent Maranville (November 11, 1891 – January 5, 1954), better known as Rabbit Maranville due to his speed and small stature (5'5", 155 pounds), was a Major League Baseball shortstop. At the time of his retirement in 1935, he had played in a record 23 seasons in the National League, a mark which wasn't broken until 1986 by Pete Rose. Maranville played larger than his statistics would indicate. He finished third in the MVP voting in his first full season, playing for the Boston Braves as a 21-year old in 1913 even though his batting average was just .247 in 143 games with two homers."
