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

Ive actually been there 5 times,as recently as the 2000 election ceremony.I know they have tons of mentions of non hall of famers but its not sectioned off like the plaque area is.They have sections for womans baseball,negro leagues,minor leagues,cards,postseason etc.

Theres alot of great players who are forgotten,maybe not hall of fame material but they were good players in their day.

The perfect example is Mike Griffin the outfielder from the old judge set.The only thing i knew about him was his career stats and that he was in the old judge set.Well i met a relative of his and basically thru them learned a ton about him and realized he was a good player that if it werent for a shortened career due mainly to a dispute with Brooklyn over him managing the team he mightve put up hall of fame worthy numbers.Thats stuff you dont learn by looking at an encyclopedia
