He and Walter Briggs in my opinion are the 2 preeminent owners pre 1950 not yet in Cooperstown.

Klrdds: Interesting observation. But it seems that former Detroit Tigers Owner Frank Navin's name is more often mentioned as a potential HOFer, and not so much that of Walter Briggs (but whose money was without-a-doubt pivotal to Tigers/Navin's success in the early 1930's).
