Hall of Merit — A Look at Baseball's All-Time Best Monday, July 26, 20041930 Results - Sheckard, Caruthers latest HoMersJimmy Sheckard and Bob Caruthers have been elected to the Hall of Merit. Like 1929, two players who had been waiting awhile were finally elected. Sheckard, the top runner-up in 1929, was elected in his 12th time on the ballot. Caruthers had been eligible since the 1899 election and was elected posthumously in his 32nd try (he died at the age of 47 in 1911). Parisian Bob finished 11th in 1899, three players that he outpointed that year have been inducted; Charlie Bennett (12th), Cal McVey (15th), and Pud Galvin (16th). Dickey Pearce, who finished 64 points behind Caruthers is the top returning vote getter for 1931. George Van Haltren leapt into 4th place, edging Jake Beckley by two points and Lip Pike by 18. Clark Griffith, Rube Foster, Jimmy Ryan and Hughie Jennings rounded out the top 10.

1. JoeD has the Imperial March Stuck in His Head Posted: July 26, 2004 at 07:09 AM (#755831)Sorry I was late . . .
Any disagreements? Sheckard's peak may have been with Brooklyn and Caruthers also played quite a bit for Brooklyn as well.
That's what I have for them on their plaques (though Caruthers will have the Browns, not Cardinal, cap).

Pearce (1836) will make that first line 2. Lloyd (1884) will make the last line 11.
There is a lull centering around 1863-64. Caruthers is the first HoMer born 1862-65 (one each for 1861,66). The strongest candidate remaining from then is Ryan.
Presumably, the Civil War led to a decreased birth rate. It raises a chicken/egg question: Do we (and should we) have fewer HoMers in the 1890's due to this smaller pool? Or is the lower number of HoMers born in the 1860's due to us shortchanging the 1890's stars?

The Civil War "baby bust" is certainly quite dramatic.
Babe Adams or Jack Quinn may still gather a vote.
