I feel like I'm the only one constantly scratching my head that Will White isn't in.

All the guys I feel are overlooked have been discussed here multiple times. They're never getting in. But that doesn't stop me or anyone else from treating them as if they actually are: Cecil Travis, Riggs Stephenson, Charlie Grimm and, yes, Bob Johnson.

Riggs played so many partial seasons; that was and will forever be his downfall.

+1 and +1. Love them both, and I collect them both. 41 Play Ball Walters and 35 Diamond Stars Hack. Two great cards.

I’ve always thought Larry Doyle doesn’t get enough consideration. He was easily the best second baseman in the National League during his time.
Another guy who’s name isn’t thrown around a lot is Wally Berger. Never going to be a HOFer but what a beast before he got injured. Completely forgotten by time. |

Spottswood has recently been discovered by new home town of Winchester, VA, where he was born and raised, and they now have a field and road named after him.

Section 42 I suggest this app to navigate the cemetery Also, lots of ballplayers in that cemetery including one of two MLB players to be killed in WW2, Elmer Gedeon. I show off some graves here: https://net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=335674 Last edited by theshowandme; 04-15-2024 at 07:37 AM. |

Urban Shocker.
In 412 career games: 187-117 career record 59.0 WAR 60th ranked pitcher in MLB history (JAWS) There are already 84 pitchers in the Hall, but rarely any grumblings for Shocker. |
