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

With due respect, I think you have to take players' achievements and statistics for what they were, not what they might have been had they played longer or had some other variable changed. Otherwise you get on a slippery slope that ends up asking for example what Darryl Strawberry might have accomplished had he taken better care of himself and got psychiatric help, etc. The fact of the matter is that Sam Rice did not get 3000 hits.
