New idea for a collection -- help me build the want list

Herb Score and Gil McDougald....both of these guys were never the same after that fateful night on May 7, 1957
at Cleveland's Municipal Stadium when McDougald's sharp line drive struck Score in the face.

I have one word for you and your son.........Peckinpaugh!!!

I believe that "Eight Errors" in a seven-game world series is more then qualified for enshrinement.

Lovely Day...

I'm shocked that no one has mentioned this one but you have to include the chicago white sox players caught up in the 1919 world series scandal!

Eddie Cicotte, Buck Weaver, Chick Gandil, Swede Risberg, Lefty Williams, Joe Jackson, Hap Felsch, and Kid Gleason.

Willard Hershberger--the only major leaguer to commit suicide during the course of a season.

Fred McMullin thanks you for substituting Kid Gleason as the 8th man out.

You could also include Joe Gedeon of the St Louis Browns who became the "9th man out" for his participation in the Black Sox scandal.

You could also add McDougald to the list for the unfortunate circumstances surrounding him and Bob Cerv in batting practice.
