I don't know about Joe Jackson in the hall. Maybe. Eddie Cicote deserves it more.

No way, I have Jackson on my top 30 for sure. He was incredible. He could hit, throw and had speed. He hit .408 in his first full season and never hit below .300 in one full season. How many guys can test to that? His SLG AND OBP are even more of a sight to behold. His last full season he hit .382, so you know he was going to have more great seasons had he not been thrown out of the game.
Cicote is a tough call as he was good, but not great He had two 20 win seasons in a row before he was canned, so maybe he would of had some more great seasons. But there is no chance of him going in cause he actually threw some games.
Cool site and it's good to know there is someone else here that knows his sh** about the history of baseball.
