HOF stiffs Vintage Players etc.

Posted By: Brian Hodes

Well that long list of 200 Veteran HOF candidates was narrowed down to nominees for a shorter list of the electorate to consider and almost all of the Vintage Players (those that starred before WWII) were left out including strong candidates like Dahlen, Carruthers and Mullane.

The only vintage player who joined the baby boomer favs was Carl Mays, a very good Pitcher who threw one pitch to Ray Chapman that forever mars his excellent career.

By the way this decision has NO BEARING on the candidacies of Negro League greats.
