Why isn't this guy ever getting HOF hype?
JACK DUNN
Don't know who he is? Google him. Let's hear some opinions on his worthiness: . |
They'd have to put Lefty O'Doul in first. I can't think of anyone in already who got in for their contributions to minor league baseball. Dunn and O'Doul would be my picks though.

Here is the baseball "John Dunn" www.sabr.org/bioproj/person/e1addacb Since he bought the Baltimore team in the fall of 1909, that would make his 1910 COUPON card an "owner, player, manager" card. Pretty cool...(Here's an old scan, I have since traded one away.) |

My bad, I posted a "Joe" Dunn card. The Jack Dunn is the semi-horizontal T206 one. I need to get one of those. Rob
edit to add a T205 Dunn listed by Dean's...I believe this would be an owner/player/manager card... |

Here is my Jack Dunn Horner cabinet - put him in the Hall!!
|
Chris, what am I missing here? Jack Dunn had a career .245 BA and 4.11 ERA. Is this is the player you're talking about? :confused:

The SABR article indicates that he did not use a fielder's glove. His T206 shows him using one. Evidently at some point he started wearing a glove.

Joking really - I personally don't think he has much of a case if O'Doul can't even get considered. |
Adam
Why not Adam Dunn?

While we're talking about Lefty, here's a beautiful San Francisco Seals vs Oakland Oaks line up card from 1950:

Jimmy Ryan should be in. Been saying it for years.

Yankee's hall of Fame Maybe?
First one to sell off the Babe. Made Frazee's blunder and Murderer's Row possible.
|
Agree on Jimmy Ryan. Here's another...Jack Glasscock

Better question is why Adam Dunn? |
My only O'Doul. I too think he deserves to be in the Hall as well.

Another Lefty from his minor league days:

T205 Dunn
Always liked that card. Probably one of the very few cards with those characteristics of the player.
