Fire Damages Carnegie Home Once Owned by Baseball Great Honus Wagner

CARNEGIE, Pa. (AP) — No one was injured when a fire broke out in the Pennsylvania home once owned by baseball Hall of Famer Honus Wagner. Officials believe Tuesday’s fire might have started in a clothes dryer in the basement of the home on Beechwood Avenue in Carnegie. The fire then spread through the walls and climbed up the dwelling. It took about five hours for firefighters to extinguish the flames. The house was built for the Pittsburgh shortstop in 1917. He lived there until he died in 1955.
