1. yest Posted: September 06, 2004 at 03:21 AM (#838540)BTW, John is our "friend of the HoM" who pointed out the Internet Archive to me, so he deserves a lot of credit, besides Jim and Google, for reconstructing the old threads.
The reason I requiested a Pearce thread is beacause I was wondering how to factor the Civil War in to his career.
Assuming Pearce was the best player from 1858-1865 (which I'm abought 85% sure is correct maybe it's Creighton or some player lost to history) is that enough to place him in the HoM (even though it to late now to change it)
First of all if I remember correctly it was due to the Civil War that baseball expanded to areas out side of Greater New York so there was just a small amount of men playing it.
Second of all weren't a large number of men off in the army to lessen the number of baseball players even more.
If you have an eligible player that you want a discussion page created, let me know.
Mickey Welch
Yest, he's a shortstop. Unless he had hit like Wagner or Lloyd (which he didn't), he won't be making your PHOM. :-)
Seriously, that's a much more reasonable request for a Dickey Pearce thread. I don't know if the electorate wants to open up that can of worms again though (I know I really don't!), but if a consensus builds for it...
Mickey Welch
Mickey Welch is an excellent choice, Yest. I'll set it up tonight.
We will need to review the evidence of these guys for when a slot opens in say 1970 and we've got a whole lot of new voters who aren't up the curve on them. I assume all current voters heard all they could possibly want to hear in 1924-32, but that won't be true going forward.
I think he does, karlmagnus.
Let's hold it at these guys for a little bit to see if we can attract discussions for them before I create any more pages.
Whoever played the bulk of his career in the 19th century belongs on this thread.
Of all the names that you mentioned, all would all be acceptable except Leach.
I think, for the future, that a 20th century thread should also be set up for the Leachs, Veachs, etc.
