Actually this year would be a great year to go for fans of the old players. Not only is Deacon White going in about 70 years too late, but they will also have a formal ceremony for the entire 1945 class(plus Hornsby and Gehrig) If you collect pre-war cards, the 1945 class is some heavy-hitters!
Bresnahan, Brouthers, Clarke, Jimmy Collins, Delahanty, Jennings, O'Rourke, Duffy, Wilbert Robinson, King Kelly!
I'm thinking about going now! No one elected this year by the BBWAA might the best thing for people from this board. The weekend is going to be loaded with pre-WWI players being honored

Another with 13 players who were with the Pittsburgh Pirates during the regular season, but never played a game. There's also one about 27 baseball families, as well as a day-by-day look at the worst team in Pittsburgh Pirates history. All five can be found here:
