This subject has been rehashed a million times, but it's a fun one! Please include what years you consider to be the "deadball era". |

I might add Bad Bill Dahlen, considering the middle infielders that are already in. He stacks up well against most of them, for sure. |

Isn't the term "dead ball" something of a misnomer? Isn't intended as a perjorative term, meant to demean the earlier style of play and to reflect a preference for the age of the home run and the "lively ball"? As a fan of pre-1921 baseball, I prefer to think of it as the "inside baseball" era, which demanded lots of teamwork and execution of the little things. As for the actual question, I think that Larry Doyle deserves an other look-- he was the offensive star and captain of the Giants through quite a few pennant winning seasons. The Pirates were another perennial winner back then, so it's a little surprising that not one of their fine pitchers ever came close to making it into the hall (not counting Vic Willis). |

Johnnky kling held together the champion Cubs. He misses one season and the cubs dont get the pennant. He comes back and they make it to the series. |

There should be a special section in the Hall of Fame where Shoeless Joe Jackson and Pete Rose stand side by side with all of their photos and memorabilia. Believe me it would get looked at 10 times more than 75% of the players in their right now. |

I still believe that they should have a "pioneers" section in the HOF and induct a few of the 19th century players that have been forgotten/neglected: |

That's awesome about the Cravath bat! Yeah, you should definately post some pics. I'd like to get a replica bat from the deadball era, just because they seem like great bats to use. I guess you could consider Cravath as a top power hitter of the later deadball era, but weren't other players around the 1910s hitting almost as many home runs? During that period there seems to have been a dramatic increase in slugging power due to (I believe) the switch to lighter baseballs, starting somewhere around 1912. Was Cravath just like a Dick Hoblitzel type hitter who was able to benefit from this better hitting environment? He also played in the Baker Bowl, right? |

I didn't pick up the bat in a 1999 Hunt Auction. If you have a catalog with a picture of that bat (and item description) I'd like to see it. This bat came from an avid PCL collector. The bat came from the LS archives a few years ago. |

This bat doesn't appear to be the same bat as in the Hunt auction (1999) but it is similar in that it was manufactured while he was in the PCL. I like the bat even though it wasn't from his ML playing days: |
