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? 😆

It is a fact that the HOF stipulation essentially removes the names of the guys who debuted in the 80's or later and are genuine candidates. Bonds for LF? Not eligible. Clemens on the mound? Not eligible. A-Rod for SS? Not eligible. Trout? Not eligible.
This is not a criticism or a complaint. It is a statement of actual fact.
