Misunderestimated (Brian H)Deacon White and Bill Dahlen both belong. Both demonstrated sustained excellence and were also among the very best players in the game for some of their respective careers. Players like Joe Wood were among the very best for a short time but did not demonstrate sustained excellence. Wood's greatness was ended by injury -- he made a valiant comeback as a good but never excellent outfielder.
White is an especially egregious omission from the Hall. He was a great pioneer and a great player -- either one of which should have justified his induction many years ago.
His brother Will was also a tremendous player. Will was a pitcher who had a fairly short career (really only 7 seasons) and really dominated for a little while putting up great numbers like only a 1/2 man rotation 19th century ace could. To me he belongs in the same group as other great forgotten 19th century Pitchers who all have the same sort of (strong) case for induction such as Mike McCormick, Tommy Bond and Larry Corcoran and my personal favorite Bobby Caruthers.
