A Baseball Player's Hall of Fame career starts with that first game. As games pile up, season by season, a Hall of Fame-worthy career emerges.
This blog is a tribute to these 'famous' baseball players before they became known and loved by baseball fans. I will try to show box scores that show their debut. There may be a few non-HOF players who are still revered or collected that I will show as well.
Much thanks goes to www.baseball-reference.com and www.baseball-almanac.com.
