I see that he only led the league in hits 1 time, 2Bs 1 time, HRs 1 time, slug% 1 time, (all in the same year), never led the league in any other offensive category in his 18 year career, .......solid player, but not even close to HOF for that Era.

Not sure if I agree here, at least from a B-R.com perspective. OPS+ does a good job of normalizing data and at 124 he matches up well against other dead ball era HOFers: Jimmy Collins, Ewing, King Kelly, Monte Ward and so on.
