Jay-The players you listed are deserving of HOF consideration. However, none of these players played in the pre-major league era. I think those that played pre-1871 need an avenue for HOf consideration as "pioneers" whether they played 10 major league seasons or not. I'm talking guys like Barnes, McVey, Creighton. Currently, these players are technically ineligible for the HOF. An executive or manager can be considered from this era, but not a player. I think that is wrong.
