Fair point. And yes, Dreyfus.

Glenn, I was not being picky. I was just pointing out that German Unification had not fully happened when he was born. Just a point of historical interest.

So, in a few years, Japan will obviously be added to the list (Ichiro Suzuki).

Also, it is very likely that France will join the list in a few years as well.

I'll take guesses as to who that likely future hall of famer is.

Unless Ichiro gets pegged as a steroid user.

There is no one born in France that could make it as a player. Bruce Bochy could make it as a manager but that may be close. Even though he won three Worlds Series and Manager of the Year once, his overall won/loss record is below .500 and his post season record is barely above .500.

Barney Dreyfus. Germany was not a country at the time he was born. It was a federation of states.
