I agree 100% with Jay Miller. I'll let the tears fly when the better candidates of the 19th century are in first. It is funny that life has come full circle in a way that if ANY of the names Jay Miller mentioned had been black and born in Cuba, they would be hall of famers right now. It would be more beneficial now (Certainly not in life) to be a Cuban baseball player at the turn of the century than a Major League Star in the 19th century like Tony Mullane as far as getting into the Hall of Fame.

I am from a dominantly multi-race family and am certainly not prejudice, and I believe that many of the candidates elected are deserving. However, in a way it is almost sad that it took a vote and process like THIS to get them in. I do not have a problem if Buck O'Niell or Minnie Minoso got in, but they were not nearly the players of their generation that any of the names Jay Miller mentioned were to their generation, Black or White does not matter in that regard.
