I hate to be a spoilsport but the honest answer is "Nobody" from the 19th Century. As I understand it the earliest player elgible is 1910's - 20's Pitcher Carl Mays (talk about an interesting story!).
There certainly could be Negro League players added to the Honor Role. Andy, Kenny and Ryan know a lot more than I do but I beleive the strongest candidates from this group include: Mule Suttles, Cristobal Torriente and Biz Mackey.

I collect all of the great players I think should be HOFers anyway even though they are barred from the Cooperstown shrine. My list includes most of the 19th Cnetury guys referenced in the posts above.
