Who is the only player with his name on a Hall of Fame plaque but yet is not in the Hall of Fame?

Maybe it's someone we're all overlooking.
Then again maybe it's someone my three year old would be overlooking.

Eddie Gaedel?

CC, You might want to rephrase the question because I found a George Davis that's in the HOF and there are 3 other George Davis' that played but aren't in the Hall.

Hmmmm, never thought about it that way PD.. This player doesn't share a name with anyone in the Hall(full name anyway).

He is mentioned on someone else's plaque!

According to this players biography, he did something his first 4 years in the majors thats never been duplicated!

There used to be 3 players:

Frank Selee on Tommy McCarthy's plaque
Larry Doby on Bill Veeck's plaque

But they are now in the Hall of Fame!

Is it Ken Brett?

Wasn't he his brother's presenter?
That might get his name on the plaque.
