It also depends on how you define a Hall-of-Famer:
Do you include managers? (I usually do since they are, along with players, 'uniformed') Umpires ? Owners ? Executives ?
Writers and Broadcasters are also technically Hall-of-Famers.
Even though Negro League records are not nearly as complete as those of the Majors, no one could rightfully not include all of those greats.
...and there are Negro League owners in the Hall as well.
What about scouts and coaches?
...and I would be remiss if I did not include one of the great ambassadors for the sport, Buck O'Neil.
how 'bout Max Patkin?
Where do you draw the line?
