Obviously I am not alone in my thinking. All of the guys that I mentioned were first or second ballot HOFers. Nobody had to make a case for them to get in. Just look at the career numbers. .298 avg, 382 HR, 1451 RBI, .352 OBP. He only has 30 more HR and 245 more RBI than Ellis Burks. I'm not saying that he was a scrub. He made 8 All Star teams. But "Feared By Pitchers" is not a stat, and the rest of his stats don't make him a HOFer.
