Jay Miller As I was pageing through the Smolin Auction catalog and looking at the grouping of Old Judge I started wondering who I thought had the best chance of being the next pre-1900 member of the HOF. I would like to throw the question open to the board. I would say that the best bet is Dummy Hoy. I'm not sure he is the best pre-1900 player still not in the Hall, but he has a compelling story and an established marketing organization behind him. Others that come to mind are Stovey, Van Haltren, Caruthers, Browning and Orr.
