I'm not thinking of anyone else and some of those guys aren't HOF material to some people. I would only consider Ferrell and Hack and a few 1800s guys, myself.

It seems like pre-50s white dudes are very well represented to the point that the pool of players to consider is really shallow.

I believe he’s talking about era factors in WAR.

Everything before mass airplane travel and integration is hard to handicap. There's also a bit too much (imo) downplaying of the talent of players who played during WW2 who have their accomplishments diminished because of the dilution of talent displaced into the military.

There's got to be PCL players that are HOF-worthy who just wanted to stay on the West coast and we've probably lost their greatness to history even with impressive counting stats...made more difficult by some years having nearly 200 games a season.
