I think of the early founders of baseball a bit different I guess as they made the game what it is--probably doesn't make any sense but I don't have a major problem with Henry Chadwick being in. Harry Wright, Candy Cummings, and Al Spalding all played the game as well, so no problems with them being in the HOF.

Most of the Negro Leaguers/non-MLB players probably deserve to be there but again they went and inducted the likes of Effa Manley, which was silly to me. Again, all of this is just one man's opinion but I'd much rather see a Tony Mullane, Deacon White, Lefty O'Doul, or Ron Santo be inducted than Doug Harvey, Pat Gillick, Marvin Miller, Bowie Kuhn, Effa Manley, etc., etc.
