Steve- I filled in the SABR survey and my choice was Jim Creighton. Admittedly, his career was too short to technically qualify, but I think his legendary status should allow him to bypass the rules.

I'm biased but Browning.......Mullane & Stovey otherwise.....sadly, none will go in.....

Probably should be a completely separate hall of fame for these guys. But the visitation would be "light."

"Parisian" Bob Caruthers

These are all legends but I'd pick Stovey first, Browning 2nd.... then the rest!

Another vote for Browning, but "The Gladiator" nickname because of his fielding ability will always hurt his chances.
