T206 Who should be a HOFer that isn't ???

Sorry if I missed them above, but I don't think anyone's mentioned Overall, Schulte, or Latham. Not that I really think they belong in the Hall (Overall isn't even eligible), but I think they were as good as most of the folks that have been mentioned in this thread.

Dahlen is the only one in T206 who deserves it as a player and hasn't been enshrined yet. Dinneen is a good pick for total contributions to the game.

The best pre-steroid era guys who haven't gotten in yet are Jim McCormick, Bob Caruthers, and Shoeless Joe.

Overall didn't pitch long enough. Schulte had an amazing 1911, but it takes more than one Hall of Fame season to be a Hall of Fame player.

I agree with everything you wrote, and I retract nothing of what I wrote.

Who was Schulte as good as? He was no Sherry Magee. That's for sure.

If Indian Bob Johnson were playing today would he be called Native American Bob Johnson?

I feel like I'm in the middle here on this topic. There are some players not in the Hall from the set I think should be in. Some standards are too stingy. Others advocate for terrible choices, in my opinion.

you rang???


as far as the Clemente question you were posed earlier, that dude has a hard time understanding that when you say a player is better at defense than another player (like say Andruw Jones over Clemente) you aren't saying that the former was a better all around player than the latter, just that they were better at defense. He got all bent out of shape over this, for some reason.

I ssw Doc White here earlier. I see nothing too special. He had a couple nice seasons but a typical deadball player, really.

I like Latham. He's an interesting and good choice and is certainly in the category worth mentioning as the others.

Not so sure about Orval.

Imagine putting Vince Coleman in the Hall of Fame. That basically sums up Latham.
