Most of the Hall of Fame 2nd basemen are from an era where many of those alives today and following the game would not have seen them play, so I admit in advance I may be overlooking somebody more worthy than my answer due to sheer ignorance. With that rider, I would nominate Jackie Robinson... he was a complete ball player and bore the burden of his race at that time with honour and without complaint, and although his career was relatively short he still found time to inspire his team to a huge amount of success.

On production Rogers Hornsby was the cream of the crop compared to his peers for sure. Jackie Robinson had a good all around package as well. Defensively there was none better than Bill Maseroski. In the modern game Jeff Kent had some great production years that surpassed Hornsby in some catagories. Even though he is from a very old era, I would cast my vote for Hornsby just on his statistical superiority over others at the same position at the same time. The man dominated the position for sure.

Either Joe Morgan or Jackie Robinson. Jackie wasn't just a good play, yes I will state the obvious here, he was a human rights activist because he help to break down the race barrier in sports in the USA.
-
Though am partial to Eric McNamee, will say on the MLB ranks one Ryne Sandberg.
-
I would argue it is Joe Morgan and then Rogers Hornsby. Jackie Robinson is in another class altogether. He transcends playing positions. He is just the best.

I vote for Jackie Robinson. I remember when he played for the old Brooklyn Dodgers. His race or color meant nothing to me at that time. He was a great player and the Dodgers were my favorite team (But they kept getting beat by those damn Yankees). Jackie was great also because of the fact that he broke the color barrier and also because he kept his mouth shut and did his job and didn't give anyone a reason to attack him personally. A great man!!!! He was picked as the right one to do this and he was.
