Cooper was a solid left-handed pitcher for the Detroit Stars in the 1920's and Kansas City Monarchs from the late 20's to early 40's. He also managed the Monarchs in the 1930's.

For his sustained excellence he's a worthy HOFer, but was never a dominant pitcher. Once the stats are released, I'm sure his election will make more sense.

Of the 8 pitchers on the ballot, I personally had him ranked 6th. Out of those 8, the top 6 would all have been legitimate HOFers. Only 3 of them were elected (Ray Brown, Jose Mendez, Andy Cooper).
