He was elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame by a special Negro Leagues Committee in 2006. (see Sol White at Society for American Baseball Research.) The other player with the surname 'White' in the Hall of Fame is Deacon White, who played from 1871 to 1890. He was inducted in 2013 by the Pre-Integration Era Committee. (see Deacon White at Baseball Hall of Fame.)
