I don't think he's a Hall-of-Famer...I'd put him in the next tier. He had a fine career but, IMO, he falls short.
I would put a lot of my personal favorites in that same category, so I don't feel like I'm slighting the man for saying that.
Apparently, he was at least as good a man as he was a player - and that's as good as any Hall-of-Fame.
