In the early days of the Hall, there was virtually no threshold a person had to surpass to be elected. As a result, loads of people got in that probably shouldn't have. If there were a retroactive purge, I imagine a good 12-15 players would probably not make the cut based on just the 10-year active playing time requirement.
Something that stood out to me in all those BR comparison charts was why hasn't there been much talk about Cecil Cooper? He's right there in the thick of almost all of those lists amid 6 or 7 inductees. I have to think if he'd had some sort of last stretch media campaign like Dawson or Rice got, he'd be in. I wouldn't be at all surprised to see him inducted by the veterans committee. |
