I thought the most deserving player from the T206 set was a lively and interesting debate. I don't think the T206 set has nearly as many undeserving players (percentage wise) in the HOF than say the Goudey set but there are a few.
My pick would be Chesboro. He did have a 40 win season, but that was more than 20% of his career total wins (less than 200). He did win more than 20 five times, but that was not an uncommon occurrence in those days. His career was relatively short and he had nearly as many losing seasons as winning one. I know Marquard is a popular pick. but he's certainly not alone. Most of us are older and "deep" baseball fans. We have been influenced by the old "Legends of Baseball" books that presented Elmer Flick as if he were Tony Gwynn. For you brain staters, here is a list of HOF players in the T206 set. Home Run Baker Jake Beckley Chief Bender Roger Bresnahan Mordecai Brown Frank Chance Jack Chesbro Fred Clarke Ty Cobb Eddie Collins Jimmy Collins Sam Crawford George Davis Hugh Duffy Johnny Evers Elmer Flick Clark Griffith Miller Huggins Hughie Jennings Walter Johnson Addie Joss Willie Keeler Joe Kelley Nap Lajoie Rube Marquard Christy Mathewson Iron Man McGinnity John McGraw (Portrait With Cap) Eddie Plank Tris Speaker Joe Tinker Rube Waddell Honus Wagner Bobby Wallace Ed Walsh Zack Wheat Vic Willis Cy Young |
