No love for Bobby Mathews? Great pitcher, but always on lousy teams.
Just short of 300 Wins. Just short of 5,000--yeah, that's right, five thousand--innings pitched. (I just love these old timers' counting stats!) And just short of making anybody's ballot.

New to this ballot is Candy Cummings, who, more than being the (dubious) answer to a trivia question, was arguably the best pitcher of his time. (Again, I say arguably.)
