I could try to create player cards for Hall of Fame position players who were not included in the Hall of Fame game set because they were inducted into the Hall for other accomplishments (e.g., as managers, executives, etc.). I feel pretty confident that I could come up with reasonable baserunning and defensive stats, and by identifying statistically comparable offensive players, I could re-use existing hitting charts from other cards. And since we have plenty of pitchers already, I might just have a fourth team after all! I think I'll do a bit more research. I do happen to own a book that provides complete season-by-season stats for all major-league ballplayers for every season in the nineteenth century, so getting the raw data for the comparisons should be pretty straightforward.
