Problem is that the Hall of Fame didn't exist until 1936 so many of the 19th Century players never had a chance like those that played later. For modern players I have no problem with the 30 or so year cutoff. The fact that an entire "major league" has only one or two inductees from its ranks seems silly to me (American Association).
