JACK DUNN
Don't know who he is? Google him.
Let's hear some opinions on his worthiness:

They'd have to put Lefty O'Doul in first. I can't think of anyone in already who got in for their contributions to minor league baseball. Dunn and O'Doul would be my picks though.

Here is the baseball "John Dunn" www.sabr.org/bioproj/person/e1addacb
Since he bought the Baltimore team in the fall of 1909, that would make his 1910 COUPON card an "owner, player, manager" card. Pretty cool...(Here's an old scan, I have since traded one away.)

My bad, I posted a "Joe" Dunn card. The Jack Dunn is the semi-horizontal T206 one. I need to get one of those. Rob
edit to add a T205 Dunn listed by Dean's...I believe this would be an owner/player/manager card...

Chris, what am I missing here? Jack Dunn had a career .245 BA and 4.11 ERA. Is this is the player you're talking about? :confused:

Definately not getting in due to his playing career. Read the Sabr link above, he did a lot after he retired from playing.

The SABR article indicates that he did not use a fielder's glove. His T206 shows him using one. Evidently at some point he started wearing a glove.

As long as I have a Horner cabinet of him I will support his candidacy :)
Joking really - I personally don't think he has much of a case if O'Doul can't even get considered.

While we're talking about Lefty, here's a beautiful San Francisco Seals vs Oakland Oaks line up card from 1950:

Jimmy Ryan should be in. Been saying it for years.

First one to sell off the Babe. Made Frazee's blunder and Murderer's Row possible.

Better question is why Adam Dunn?

My only O'Doul. I too think he deserves to be in the Hall as well.

Always liked that card. Probably one of the very few cards with those characteristics of the player.
