Judge Dred (Fred)Joss deserves to be in - less than a 2.00 ERA with a pretty good winning percentage (160-97, .623%). It's hard to knock someone who was a dominating player but was cut down in the prime (right after his 31st birthday) of his life.
I remember when I was a kid I kept a list of players that I figured deserved to be in the HOF. Joss was at the top of that list. Finally, in 1978 they enshrined him. If ever there was a 9 year player that deserved to be in the HOF, it was Joss.
