1963 Hall of Fame

 Cooperstown saw four more names added to it's hall in 1963, all from the Veterans Committee with the regular BBWAA off for that year. Three of them were alive to be notified of their upcoming honor, with two living long enough for enshrinement day. While it wasn't surprising that Clarkson (who played his entire 300 Win career in the 1800s) was already gone, Rixey dying before he was formally enshrined was a sad reminder that some of these legends were getting really old and posthumous inclusion to the Hall for guys during the World Series era was going to become a more and more common practice.
