Vic Harris, John Donaldson

I would think both Harris and Donaldson are exceptionally rare, even though Donaldson was quite popular with the public.

To your point on the names on the ballot, I couldn't agree more. The committee is considering over 100 years of baseball history and has to whittle that immense list of players down to only 8 names. I find it hard to believe there was nobody during that span of time that deserves consideration before voting on Garvey, Boyer, Tiant, etc. for the 5th or 6th time. At this point it's pretty clear they just want these guys in, much like Hodges as you mentioned. If that's the case, just have a "special election" or something and put them all in, or drop them from consideration altogether. It's long past time that a host of other names make the ballot so they can at least be considered.
