The HOF should create a "pioneers or early years" section for the fans. There are a few players that should be in there and Ross Barnes is at the top of the list. Bobby Mathews is another player that could be considered a "pioneer". He started the same year as Ross Barnes but lasted a bit longer. If he'd won 3 more games in his career, he'd already be enshrined.
