Anyone remember Charlie Jamieson


 Q: Why is Charlie Jamieson not in the Indians Hall of Fame? I know he's listed as one of the 100 Greatest Indians, but why is he overlooked for the Indians Hall of Fame? -- Paul Rupright, Cleveland

 A: In 2006 the Indians started to induct players into their Hall of Fame after a 34-year absence. Before that, the last Indian inducted was Early Wynn in 1972. A backlog of candidates has been created in that time and Jamieson is one of them.
Bob DiBiasio, Indians vice president of public relations, says Jamieson gets several votes every year, but so far hasn't been elected. DiBiasio feels he eventually will be.
