Re: Contest- guess the Hall-of-Famer!

I'm going to go a little outside of the box here and guess a hall of famer who wasn't a player. How about Doug Harvey?

Thanks for the contest!

Re: Contest- guess the Hall-of-Famer!

Oh, I know, I know. It has to be Pete Rose.......right?!?!?!? No seriously, it has to be the "Hit King". Wait a minute, what? You've got to be kidding me... you're telling me that the man with the most hits of any man to ever to step up to the plate is not in the Hall of Fame. You're telling me that in this grand 'ol game that is obsessed with statistics that a guy with one of the 5 best career stat lines of all time has not been enshrined yet? I digress...

Is it Tony Perez?

...still no winner, giving this until noon (EST) on Thursday, then I'll have to come up with something else........

Same rules, 2 guesses per poster and you can only make your 2nd guess after 19 other guesses have been made....

Re: Contest- guess the Hall-of-Famer!

Contest is closed...lots of close guesses since several of these were recent pick-ups- Vaughan and Baker were within the last year or so but the correct answer was Jim Bottomley.

Thought I had picked-up Jimmie Foxx the other day for #202 but did not pass PSA quick-opinion.

Thanks for those who guessed and watch for another contest soon.

...thanks!!

They are getting tough and more costly but the thrill of the hunt still remains. Given I only really collect 3x5's, index cards, GPCs my options are narrow at times.

You get a Larkin ball yet?
