As the OP, I feel comfortable that I haven't been very restrictive. The ask was for an All Time HOF team..not an all -time team. There may well be a bias to players from the 1920s - 1970s. but it's just a bit of fun. I see a number of people have included modern names.
With regards to 19th century players, my own feeling was that they'd be out of place in the modern game. Would King Kelly be able to compete against players from 1925 onwards I'm not so sure.
What i find most surprising is that nobody chose Harold Baines...even as DH. Who'd have thought? 😆
