I am on a facebook group where we argue about Hall of Famers...in fact, that's all the group is about. There are a handful of people from our national game...Sain, Buck O'Neil, Lefty O'Doul...who made significant contributions but do not fit neatly into the established pigeonholes of the Hall of Fame. They have significant contributions in certain areas, but enough to warrant inclusion as a player. Their work as an ambassador, coach, etc. is just not something that has been considered...not to say that it shouldn't be.
