Think theres deserving 19th century players not in the HOF
Posted By: Bryan
Milestones didn't matter back then so why should they be judged on those standards. Plus they are becoming obsolete. The 500 HR club is a joke and the 300 win club may never get another member. I would rather have seen Sam Rice bow out a couple hits shy than Wade Bogg's pathetic persuit of 3,000 hits. Look at Fred McGriff and his painful chase for a couple more homeruns. If he did get 10 more would that make him an instant future HOF member? Granted that no one has ever said reaching a milestone gets you a free pass (Bert Blyleven, 3,000 strikeout club) but when it comes down to it 2,987 hits is still only 13 shy of 3,000 and that is what should be considered.
