...and there are Negro League owners in the Hall as well.
What about scouts and coaches?
...and I would be remiss if I did not include one of the great ambassadors for the sport, Buck O'Neil.
how 'bout Max Patkin?
Where do you draw the line?

Very true. And I guess that's part of my curiosity - if you include all of the non-players, do they at some point have some sort of postcard/card/etc. that can be collected?
