Who's Who and Who's Not (HOF)

[Archive]

Posted By: Judge Dred

The best and most over-rated pitchers from the dead ball era (and beyond) have been debated. Here's a string that's always kind of fun:

Who's Who in the HOF that shouldn't be a Who? I mean who really shouldn't be there? I'm sure a lot of people would agree that at least one if not two players mentioned in that little poem shouldn't be in the HOF and it wasn't by "chance" that one of them made it. One of them deserves to be there. And there are others that have been enshrined for some reason that may defy logic.

Who's not in the HOF that should be? There are a few players that you sit back and wonder what the heck are the voters for the HOF thinking? I'll start with a few. If you think I'm wrong, please tell me why.

I don't even want to start a thread about first ballot HOFers that might not have deserved the honor.

Who Shouldn't:

Johnny Evers
Joe Tinker


Who Should:

Gavvy Cravath (a long stretch here)
Bob Johnson
Harry Stovey
George Van Haltren
