"Wes Ferrell"

The hall of fame got the wrong brother. Wes would have been a decent choice. Rick is wildly underqualified. The representative Rick Ferrell card in my hall of fame collection is the Goudey premium that shows both brothers. The hall can't get it right, but at least my collection can.

Wes Ferrell of the career 4.04 ERA? Come on now. Rick was a terrible choice. Wes would have been, too.

Wes should've been an outfielder. Though I would like to point out that his career ERA was 16% better than his contemporaries in this era of explosive offenses. Jack Morris's career ERA was only 5% better than his contemporaries...

As mentioned, I'd put Wes in way before I ever put in Jack Morris or Jesse Haines or Burleigh Grimes. Wes was an absolute freak. Check out his batting statistics while being one of the better pitchers of his era.

In 1935 Wes won 25 games and hit 347.
