Default Talk about Shore, etc. made me wonder: What SHOULD keep a guy out of the HOF?

Posted By: jay behrens

How is the greatest defensive 2nd baseman not worthy of enshrinement? Maz is not in the HOF of his 1960 HR. He is there because there has never been a better defensive player at his position.

There are far too many players that can hit well, but can't play a lick of defense in the HOF. Everyone's idea of who should be in the HOF is different, but how can omit a player, or players, that are considered the greatest defensively at their position?

Carl Mays is the pitcher that threw the ball that killed Ray Chapman. This is believed to be the reason that he has been kept out of the HOF.
