That article with the Sports Collectors Daily link refers to Mr James' book, The Politics of Glory. I found that an enjoyable read. I'd forgotten about the $100,000 monument reference. I painfully recall the way the Hall has selected players as described in the book. I'm a Cardinals fan, and I had to hang my head if Frisch and others advocated strongly for Cardinals old timers. Seems to me that there's several dozen players too many who've been inducted, many of them enshrined after Mr. James' book. I recommend that book, along with The Fix is In and the first edition of the Historical Baseball Abstract. And for fiction, The Celebrant is like a time machine back to when the players in the white border tobacco cards were playing.
I hope everyone is enjoying safe holidays.
