Default 17 new Hall of Famers!

Posted By: Ryan Christoff

Adam,

Mays and Aaron DID play in the Negro Leagues. I think the point was that had Mays, Clemente and Aaron been born 20 years earlier, all of them would have spent their careers in the Negro Leagues, not the Majors. We'd be having this discussion about why Mays, Aaron and Clemente didn't deserve to be in the Hall because they played in the Negro Leagues or because there are already too many players in the Hall.

For those who believe there are already too many players in the Hall of Fame, please answer this question: Of the 17 just elected to day, which ones aren't worthy and why?

-Ryan

P.S. rp60 (maybe use your name when you post), do you think there are 17 19th century players not already in the HOF that should be? I know of a few that certainly should. Are there 17? There definitely are some other 19th century players that should be in. The question is, how many?
