I was reading an article recently from the old VCBC magazine (Dennis Purdy's great old mag) about 19th Century players deserving the Hall. Barnes was top of the list followed by a sundry of players, eg. Glasscock, Ryan etc. Sure wish VCBC was still around; it was a great reference tool and several board members contributed articles, like Kevin Struss and Barry Sloate.
