What pre-war guy do you feel should be in the HOF....I'll start with Jake Daubert
It appears to me that two great Brooklyn 1st basemen have been overlooked for the HOF...Jake Daubert and Gil Hodges. Daubert played for Brooklyn (1910-1918).
Traded to Cincinnati (1919-1924). A lifetime .303 hitter, he batted better than .300 for 10 of his 15 seasons. Leading the NL in 1913 with .359 and 1914 with .329 averages. With the livelier baseball in play, in 1922 he hit .336, hit 12 HR's, and led the Major Leagues with 22 Triples. Also, Jake had an exceptional fielding record that stands out as one of the best in baseball for 1st basemen. In the controversial 1919 World Series, he got 3 hits in the 1st game and 2 hits in the last game to help Cinci win those Series' games Unfortunately, Jake's BB career was cut short by his death on Oct 9, 1924. Some attribute his untimely death to having been beaned earlier in the 1924 season. ...... Shown here are the various T-brand backs that the T205 Daubert is found with. If any one here knows of any more than these 6 backs, please chime in. OK....let's hear of your choices of pre-war ballplayers that you feel should be in the HOF, but for whatever reasons have been overlooked ? TED Z |
