Bill,
I believe you and I are going to be in the minority on this one, but I wholeheartedly endorse Cecil Travis for the Hall of Fame. I'm always amazed to find his cards priced as if they are commons. Although he did play in a hitter's era, he had the third highest batting average ever for a shortstop. The main argument against him is that his career wasn't long enough, but I believe he deserves a pass on the that one since he was busy fighting in the Battle of the Bulge ...
I must admit I'm biased. My uncle played with Travis on a team in Germany during the war, something he is very proud of. They both came from Georgia as well ...
