Brian H (misunderestimated)Early blackball reps. (mostly prior to the Negro Leagues)
Pete Hill (player)
Sol (pioneer, publisher, historian and he played a bit too)
Players (Mostly 20's)
Torrienti
Mendez
Players Pre WWII (mostly 1930's)
Mule Suttles (my first choice overall)
Biz Mackey
Post WWII
Orestes "Minnie" Minoso (Monte Irvin type candidate but more major league than negro league value)
Buck O'Neill (less for playing than everything else)
--------
I don't really think Effa Manley is as important as Cum Posie as an owner/organizer etc (but she is a "sexier" choice for the voters)
I'd like to hear from the "experts" (Ryan, Matt, Andy etc. )on who they would select)
I don't know how many their should be.... part of me thinks it should be spaced out so that each choice gets more attention but... is that a good reason to make people wait even longer (this applies especially to Minoso and O'Neill who are still living).
