Default Who are your top 5 players who are not in the MLB HOF who played in the 19th century?

Who are your top 5 players who are not in the MLB HOF who played in the 19th century?

1. Jim McCormick – 265 Wins, 2.43 ERA, 2x ERA Titles, 76.2 WAR

2. Bill Dahlen – 75.2 WAR, 2461 Hits

3. Paul Hines – 1st Triple Crown Winner, 1st Unassisted Triple Play, 2 batting titles, 2133 Hits

4. Lave Cross – 2651 Hits, one of the greatest defensive 3B of his era, also one hell of a catcher in his early years

5. Tony Mullane – 284 Wins, 3.05 ERA, 1st ambidextrous pitcher, 66.6 WAR, most Wild Pitches with 343

Honorable Mention Position Player: Jack Glasscock – 2041 Hits, 61.6 WAR, 1 batting title, one of the greatest defensive SS of his era

Honorable Mention Pitcher: Bobby Mathews - 297 Wins, 2.86 ERA, 55.1 WAR


That was a tough list to narrow down, but I do believe that all would be well deserving of a spot in Cooperstown.

My list:

Harry Stovey - One of the first real five tool players. An offensive beast.

Bob Caruthers - Ohtani of his day. In 1887 he won 29 games, pitched 341 innings and also managed to bat 357 with 8 homers and 73 rbi's,

Tip O'Neill - Forgotten triple crown winner

Jack Glasscock - Crime he isn't in.

Gus Weyhing - Won 30 games 4 years in a row and is still the all time leader in hit batsmen.

Great list! I agree with all of those and Caruthers was close on my list.

#1 Jim Creighton
#2 Ross Barnes

These guys are far and away the Hall’s biggest omissions in my eyes. The gap between them and the others is huge. Neither of them is getting in any time soon. There’s 15-20 guys I think are worthy of very serious consideration, and all of them are fairly close, I think.

#3 Bob Caruthers
#4 Bill Dahlen
#5 Jack Glasscock
