Summary

An irony of enshrinement at the baseball Hall of Fame is that it's no guarantee of lasting name recognition. Who was more renowned than George Wright, baseball's greatest star at the dawn of professional play? Who was more feared than Big Dan Brouthers? Maybe it was Amos Rusie, who threw so hard that some say the rule makers increased the pitching distance just to make things fair.
