Pre-war Non-HOFers Worth Collecting

Tinker to Evers to Chance to.......how about Harry Steinfeldt

What about Cy Seymour? He's the only player ever as a pitcher to lead a league in strikeouts and then also leads the league in hitting. Babe Ruth didn't even do that.

Wes Ferrell is another one. He had one of the best all around seasons of all time in 1935; winning 25 games and batting 347. I always thought his contribution as a true two-way player has often been overlooked. he hit 280 over 15 years and it's not like he didn't get at bats either.

How about Moe Berg? Not the greatest player but such an interesting story. Not too many cards. His rookie....

"Indian" Bob Johnson - Is it PC to use that distinction anymore?

[Jason19th]

Wasn’t appreciated in his day, but was a base on balls machine who walked his way to a 423 career on base percentage and scored over 100 runs fours years in a row.

[Yastrzemski Sports]

I didn't see Shoeless Joe on the list. But he would be #1.
