Since I have a tendency to underrate Pitchers, same question with this small group of four pitchers:
Mordecai Brown Eddie Plank Rube Waddell Addie Joss I should also mention that I am not including Negro Leaguers in this survey. |

Of those, only Plank, given the number of wins. Brown's stats such as ERA seem great but adjusted for the era they aren't nearly as impressive.

Brown's adjusted ERA career numbers are one of the top alltime, ahead of Mathewson, Cy Young and Grover Cleveland Alexander. I don't see how he doesn't get included in the 'elite' status; however, he didn't get elected to the HOF until 1949 by the Veterans' Committee, so maybe there's something to what you're saying.
