Bob,

Besides Wade Boggs, Al Kaline is another guy that would not be in the HOF without 3,000 hits. At least Wade Boggs had the batting titles. The only other plus Al Kaline had was that he had an excellent glove in the outfield.

It will be interesting to see if 500 home runs will remain a magic number. Too bad Dave Kingman didn't get 500 home runs. It would have driven Hall of Fame voters crazy.

How about this question, name me players that have reached magic numbers but who are not likely to get in the Hall of Fame.

How about Curt Schilling, he got over 3,000 strikeouts, is he going into the Hall.
