Default Who do you think deserves to be in the HOF!!
Posted By: Paul

I'm sure it's true that fielding was valued more highly in the 19th century than it is now. But I think it's also true that Cap Anson and King Kelly were two of the most highly regarded players of their time, and that this was due mostly to their bats. So I don't think hitting took a complete back seat to fielding.
