The most deserving 19th Century Player not yet enshrined in the HOF
Not sure my vote would go to Tony Mullane but I love this card;
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=260662923833 Which player from the 19th century, not already enshrined, would you put in the HOF? Last edited by martyogelvie; 10-29-2010 at 05:13 AM. |

SABR recently conducted this very survey and the winner was Deacon White.

Steve- I filled in the SABR survey and my choice was Jim Creighton. Admittedly, his career was too short to technically qualify, but I think his legendary status should allow him to bypass the rules.

I'm biased but Browning.......Mullane & Stovey otherwise.....sadly, none will go in.....

Probably should be a completely separate hall of fame for these guys. But the visitation would be "light."

interesting view from Cap Anson-1918
From baseball reference.com=
In the January 10, 1918 issue of The Sporting News, Cap Anson picks his all-time team. Anson selects catchers Buck Ewing and King Kelly; pitchers Amos Rusie, John Clarkson, Jim McCormick; at 1B, himself; 2B Fred Pfeffer; 3B Ned Williamson; SS Ross Barnes; and outfielders Bill Lange, George Gore, Jimmy Ryan, and Hugh Duffy. Notice that several of these players haven't made the HOF yet. I thought the OF choices were very interesting in particular. I also thought I'd send along the link to Jimmy Ryan whose career was very good and he had a couple brushes with disaster, making this a cool read. http://www.baseball-reference.com/bullpen/Jimmy_Ryan

Brian, you are probably already aware of this but a photo of Jimmy Ryan was accidently included in a set produced in 1909-1911, the E254 Colgan's Chips. The card was meant to depict Jack Ryan for St. Paul but somehow they mistakenly used a 1903 photo of Jimmy Ryan. This is the same photo that was used on Ryan's final card, his E107 Breisch-Williams...
The E107 is not my card.

__________________________________________________ _______________ It looks like every single one of the ones not in the HOF were teammates of Anson's. His list reminds me of the efforts of Frankie Frisch that allowed a few of his ex-teammates to sneak into the HOF. Last edited by howard38; 10-15-2010 at 06:22 AM. |
