dola,

Of course, Barnes was 21 when the National Association was formed, so he's not *exactly* like those guys you see in your own fictional leagues. Still, you're talking about a guy who had basically 6 really good years, only one of which came in the actual National League. He's got a better case for it than Dale Murphy (although counting-stats wise, he's got nothing because of the shortened schedules of the day), but still IMO ought to be on the outside looking in.
