I'd have to agree, outside of my Baltimore Orioles, I could probably name more 1800's players than current players right now. Charley 'Old Hoss' Radbourn started in 1880 for Buffalo in real life, but didn't make an appearance until 1882 with Providence in my league going 2-13 with a nasty 10.48 ERA. He "settled down" a little in 1883 with a 13-13 record and a 5.98 ERA

I think Ross Barnes is becoming my favorite player, he is the career leader in batting average, hits, doubles, walks, and runs, has hit .400 four times (and .399 once). My Hall of Fame is empty right now, but he's almost a lock once he retires (he's 33 at the end of the 1883 season.)

The only player I've come close to electing myself is Levi Meyerle, he had a career .378 average and won 3 MVP awards in 5 years, but retired at 35 after playing just 9 seasons.
