I did not put him or Joe Torre in my master list of Hall of Fame Players. Buck was voted in an an Executive and Torre as a manager. So I made the decision to just include those who were voted in as Players.

I'm trying to remember back to the first interviews with Bob Kendrick, but didn't Buck start the Negro Leagues Museum because him and a lot of others didn't get in as players, and he did it so those that were deserving but overlooked got some form of recognition?

Seeing Tout's card today and his 99/99/99 baserunning makes me wonder when and if we will ever get a Lou Brock card with that ability.
