There will always be interesting debate about the HOF's who got in that were not considered "superstars." Every voter has their own criteria for who should be in the HOF, including those who automatically don't vote for any player in his first year of eligibility. It's rediculous how anyone could not vote for an obvious HOFer only because it's his first year of eligibility. Certainly "politics" also plays some part in the voting. For example Jay - from your list, all should definitely be in except for Rizzuto and Kiner, definitely not. They only got in because of being likable guys with long broadcasting careers in NY.
