Calling All True Pre-War Buffs: Rank The T206 HOFers

[bundy462]

Very interesting add ins to the list. What is your take on Cy Seymour and Bill Dahlen? Seymour was the strikeout leader a few times early in his career as a pitcher before moving to OF where he was an over .300 career hitter. He also missed the triple crown due to finishing second only in HRs one year. Dahlen I believe is more of a player/manager overall effort more so than just as a player.

I can't say that I am too familiar with Dahlen's career, but there is most definitely something to be said for Seymour's versatility, longevity, and productivity as a deadballer... If I were a member of the veteran's committee I would give him my vote!

Great Thread!
