Favorite pre-1930 player
My favorite pre-1930 player is Earl Averill (he made his debut in 1929 so I think he qualifies for your question). The reason is easy, I am from Washington State and he was the first player from our state to be elected into the Hall of Fame. I now live around 20 minutes from the town that he lived in and have become friends with his son who has shared many stories and family photos of him.
