Wow - people want Hal Chase and Carl Mays in the Hall of Fame??? A pair of deplorable scumbags, not just in personal life but directly in the game of baseball. If the early days of baseball had any more Hal Chases and Carl Mays-es, the game might never have made it past the 1920s.
If Carl Mays is in, then Eddie Cicotte ought to be a lock (of course we all know that can't happen). In their time, it seems to me that more people respected Cicotte than Carl Mays.
Cheers,
