Default OT... Possible New T206'ers in the HOF

Posted By: I Like the Old Stuff

19th Century players worthy:

Van Haltren - Look at the numbers - WOW!!!

O'Neil - Arguably one of the greatest offensive seasons in anyones career; a lifetime .300 hitter, not bad at all.

Caruthers - 9 Seasons as a pitcher that produced one of the highest lifetime win percentages.


Move on the 20th century:

Cravath - 6 HR titles in 7 years!!! OK, he wasn't a great fielder but he sure could clobber the ball in the dead ball era.

Mays - His pitch may have taken out Chapman but he still had an illustrious career.

Bob Johnson - 8 xs 100 RBI seasons and a career slugging pct of over .500 and he's still not in there. I don't understand this one at all either.

Sure there's more but that's a pretty worthy start considering some of the players that have been enshrined for lesser reasons.
