We happily use "stars" from the 19th century, when the depth of talent was probably even worse than the depth of NeL talent in the 20th century, since the idea of playing baseball for a living in the 19th century wasn't highly regarded. If we're willing to accept Orator Shafer, Dan Brouthers, Tip O'Neill, Jack Glasscock, and Monte Ward as people who would have made big impacts on baseball in any era, how can we possibly exclude Charleston from that discussion?
