Default Think theres deserving 19th century players not in the HOF

You can't compare middle infielders to the power positions. Players at the MI positions were put their becuase of their defensive abilities. Anything they gave you with a bat was a plus. Listen to the ballplayers and most of them will tell you that Maz was the best gloveman at 2B. Defensive players are just as deserving as the HR hitters. If anything, they need throw a bunch of HR hitters. There are far too many of them in the Hall. The HR is the most boring and anti-climatic play in baseball.

I like to sit outside drink beer and yell at people. If I did this at home I would be arrested, so I go to baseball games and fit right in.
