Over a year ago my friend Shawn (my partner in crime at Addicts) and I created our own Hall Of Fame.

From this, came days of trying to get everyone in that deserved the recognition. Something, in my opinion, the real Hall no longer does.

For the most part he and I agreed on who should and who should not be in. There were some good ebates between the two of us but in the end we came up with the list you see here.

We had pretty strict qualifications although we kept all the Negro Leaguers, Umpires and Mangers/Executives the Hall currently has enshrined. We even added a few Negro Leaguers in our Hall that the real HOF has slighted (see Boojum and Dihigo).

We also waived the 5 year retirement rule as anyone currently retired, even just recently retired was allowed in our Hall

We also did not recognize MLB's bans. So in our Hall you will see players deserving of this honor such as Shoeless Joe and Pete Rose.

We also broke down several players in our Hall by there defensive abilities.Players that would not make the Hall based on anything else but their great defense (See players like Maz) I hope you have fun checking out our list as it was fun making it. The list is alphabetised by 1st name to help your search. Please feel free to come over to the Addicts.com site in the history forum if you would like to debate anyone we have on, or do not have on the list.

Enjoy!!
