It had to be the poem, I suppose.

These are the saddest of possible words:
“Tinker to Evers to Chance.”
Trio of bear cubs, and fleeter than birds,
Tinker and Evers and Chance.
Ruthlessly pricking our gonfalon bubble,
Making a Giant hit into a double –
Words that are heavy with nothing but trouble:
“Tinker to Evers to Chance.”


Who would ever have elected Chance to Cooperstown if it wasn't for that gonfalon bubble?
I say Chance was the best of these three! Tinker was probably the worst.

George Kelly and Freddie Lindstrom were pretty awful!

Frank Chance won 4 pennants and 2 championships as a manager to go along with his playing career.

Wilbert Robinson was elected as a manager. He had exactly a .500 record as a manager and won only 2 pennants and no championships.

I'd put Chance in over Robinson any day and Robinson was elected first.

No question it would be Morgan Bulkeley... was only involved in the baseball world for a short time and was only elected because he happened to be the first president of the National League. A total joke that he was elected over some of the other early pioneers (Reach and all the others should have been elected before him). Also, he was on the Mills commission as well which gave rise tot he Doubleday myth. Nobody was LESS deserving than him.

Joe Gordon has to be up there. Lindstrom, Travis Jackson, George Kelly, Scheondienst Marquard.

Never understood how Schoendienst got in years ahead of Nellie Fox. They were basically the same player but Fox had a couple hundred more hits and an MVP award. I would give Nellie the edge as a fielder as well.
