Hall of Merit — A Look at Baseball's All-Time Best Monday, July 21, 20031905 Results - Radbourn and Richardson ElectedCharlie Radbourn and Hardy Richardson have been elected to the Hall of Merit. Radbourn finished first with 706 points and was named on all but one ballot. He is our second posthumous inductee (King Kelly was the first), Old Hoss passed on in February 1897, he was just 42. Richardson (who was the only player named on all 41 ballots) finished second with 660 points, beating Pud Galvin by 26 points. Richardson’s margin over Galvin was the 2nd closest to date, George Wright beat Jack Glasscock by 21 points in 1901 (Glasscock was elected in 1904). In 1906 just one new player will be elected and the battle will be tighter than ever. Newcomer Bid McPhee finished 4th, four points behind Galvin, and Al Spalding and Ezra Sutton were tied for 5th, just four points behind McPhee. Both jumped over Joe Start, who finished 7th, but just 29 points behind Galvin. Harry Stovey held his spot among the returnees and finished 8th with 533 points. Cal McVey jumped over Sam Thompson and Charlie Bennett to finish 9th with 486 points. Thompson rounded out the top 10 with 436 points.

1. MattB Posted: July 21, 2003 at 07:05 PM (#515775)Eighth time's a charm!
That's an appealing idea...letting the family members know that their formerly unrecognized great grandfather or grandfather finally got some recognition from a fairly sophisticated set of baseball minds (present company excluded). It ain't official, but it ain't half bad.
Fun to think about.
