Default 2013 Hall of Fame "Special" Induction 7/28...any Net54 members attending?

In addition to Hank O’Day, Jacob Ruppert and Deacon White, this year's HOF Induction ceremony will honor 12 old timer electees who never had an official induction. The list includes:

Lou Gehrig
Rogers Hornsby

and the entire Class of 1945:
Roger Bresnahan
Dan Brouthers
Fred Clarke
Jimmy Collins
Ed Delahanty
Hugh Duffy
Hughie Jennings
King Kelly
Jim O’Rourke
Wilbert Robinson

It's pretty neat that so many old timers will have an official induction ceremony this weekend. Each old timer will be inducted by one of the Hall of Famers in attendance. The HOF website states that "The 1:30pm Ceremony will be televised live on MLB Network, broadcast nationally on Sirius XM Radio and will be available via a Web cast at www.baseballhall.org."

I'll be there...will any other Net54 members be attending this weekend?

In honor of these old timers, let's make a thread of the cards of these players.
