T206 players who should be in the Hall of Fame, but are not

[wonkaticket]

Any common player I own with a so called "rare" back should be put into the HOF.

Dahlen was very close on the last vote of the pre-integration veterans committee. I think he only missed by a couple of votes. He could make it next time that committee votes-- which is in 2015 I think.

Ginger Beaumont also deserves consideration. He was one of the very top hitters of the first decade of the AL.

I'd go with Bill Dahlen also. There's no real clear cut 2nd choice. I agree with Ginger Beaumont being a decent candidate. If Nap Rucker pitched for the Giants rather than the Dodgers he might already be in as well.

How about Wilbur Cooper? Not sure if he is part of the set, but he was the
1st lefty in the NL to win 200 games and he is probably the best pitcher that the Pirates have ever had.

Dahlen and Rucker

Reulbach and Dahlen. Beaumont - maybe.

Hal Chase here, other then gambling from what I read he was the best of his time

[sbfinley]

None. It is not the Hall of "Very Good."

[caramelcard]

Steven,

Take a look at some of the T206 hofers. Many are just "very good."

Dahlen was better.

ahh, but it's not the hall of great either. It's the Hall of "Fame". I must admit, I'm one of those that thinks more should be let in.

Actually, this dictionary defines Fame as Great.

Sure. And other than that, how did you like the play Mrs. Lincoln?

[leaflover]

Johnny Kling, the Cub catcher, was a winner and his stats match up pretty much with Bresnahans.

[bbcard1]

We probably could do a better thread on players in the T206 set who are in the hall of fame but shouldn't be...but that wouldn't be nice. I always though Turkey Mike Donlin was worthy and I definitely could see Larry Doyle.

I would say the most likely future HOFer is Bill Dinneen. It would be as an umpire but it counts! Umpired 8 WS tying Connolloy's AL record, first AS game.

[bender07]

As a player, Phillippe should be in.

[milkit1]

Johnny Kling was the best catcher of that era and one of thebest ever. The only year between 1906-1910 the cubs didnt get to the worls series was the year Kling took off. nuff ced!
