Default Best Baseball Player Depicted in T206 Not in the Hall of Fame

Posted By: Frank Wakefield

Reulbach as the pitcher, and

Donlin as the player.


But I'd agree that Tannehill is a strong contender. Zimmerman had good skills, but there's a cloud over his activities. With Chase it wasn't merely a cloud, but a full blown hurricane, great skills, crooked as can be. Imagine what Chase would do today on eBay if he were a retired player... he'd be selling Roger Clemens' medicine bottles on eBay.

Both Reulbach and Donlin could have had longer, fuller careers, but for intervening matters. They could have piled up more impressive numbers. I think Reulbach is better HOF material than some of what is already in there.
