This is it. Voters went sure where his career should land. In pre1900 before the start of the American League and modern baseball as they knew it or after.
As a side question can you name the four players voted into the Hall of Fame before five years after their careers ended? No peeking. Just see if you can guess in your mind without revealing just yet. May or may not be too hard of a question but I’ve always thought it fun.
