Ok....what 3 pre-war HOF'ers would you boot out?

I admit what I said was partly tongue in cheek...you can't really throw people out.

But I do have two points to make: You can't put Babe Ruth and Honus Wagner in the same group as Bobby Doerr and George Kell (and Kell needs to brush up his driving skills, too).

Also, there are so may people in the Hall that generations from now, when the number surpasses 300 and then 400 members, I think most of the players will become a total mystery. It's simply too many people in one group if each of these people is supposed to stand out. Who is going to know Dave Bancroft or Eppa Rixey fifty years from now?
