The list of players that I published is STRAIGHT from the Baseball Hall of Fame.
Those are not "my" choices... those are ALL of the players who have been voted into the HOF by the WRITERS!!
The reason for the lack of players from 1850-1920 is because THOSE players were elected in by the VETERANS COMMITTEE...NOT the writers.
SO... if they have DISBANDED the "Veterans Committee" after about 10 years when all of the GREAT players from 1850-1920 had already been inducted...
then we would NEVER have had any "lesser" players elected to the HOF and it would NEVER have been "cheapened."
GET RID OF THE VETERANS COMMITTEE!!!
History shows us that if a player is GREAT enough to be elected by the WRITERS... he WILL BE elected.
There is NO NEED for a "backup" plan any longer.
