Six new players became eligible for Hall of Fame voting on the 1900 ballot.
Lady Baldwin spent most of his career as a reliever for the Boston National League team. He made it to four All Star games and won the National League Reliever of the Year Award in 1888.
Tommy Bond had most of his success prior to the 1884 season. He ended up with 296 career wins over his 18 year career. He made three trips to the All Star Game, and he won a World Championship with the 1895 Chicago Orphans.
Roger Connor was a four-time All Star first baseman who also won two gold gloves and two silver sluggers. He won a world championship with the 1887 New York Giants. He finished his career with 2041 hits, 1228 runs, and a career OBP of .377.
Jack Glassock made it to six All Star games while winning three silver slugger awards at shortstop over his 14 year career. He retired with 2054 career hits.
Fred Goldsmith spent most of his career as a reliever. He did spend two years in the Brooklyn organization. Mostly a journey man, he did make one All Star appearance in 1894. He won a ring in his final season with St. Louis even though he only appeared in one game all season.
Jim Whitney’s biggest highlight of his career was winning the Cy Young award in 1884. He also appeared in five All Star games, won a silver slugger as a pitcher, and won a world championship in 1892 as a key reliever in Cincinnati’s bullpen.
