[edit] Hall of Fame?

He So Deserves it, the ONLY pitcher to win 100+ games AND steal 100+ bases, he also threw 2 NO-HITTERS!!!!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.17.238.142 (talk) 19:54, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

As the writer of this article, I thought it was interesting information to include. I myself may be on the fence about this particular subject, but it was a rare pitcher who successfully pitched before and after the allowance of over-hand pitching, before and after the pitcher's mound was moved back to it's current distance, and was an excellent hitter for a pitcher, even in that era. The two no-hitters are just a nice plus. Chances of it happening are practically zero, the veterans committee has basically spoken for all 19th century ball-players by now, so the likes of Pete Browning, Bob Ferguson, Harry Stovey, and Terry will not be re-considered in my opinion.
