2 x 49 = 59?

At the time I said it, as I do not have the magical ability to tell the future, it was 14 McCormick and 7 to Mullane. That is double the support.

Yes to all 4. Clearly many of the stars who played during Baseballs first 25 years who absolutely belong in the Hall of fame. Yes the numbers dont match up to the modern game but the rules evolved as did the equipment and the fields. About time we recognized the men who built our national game. And for the most part were left were left in the dust if they were injured.

I'd love to hear the opinions from the NO's, especially for McCormick and to a lesser extent Glasscock.
