He's not even a top 200 hitter all time at his position!!!
from 1871-1920 he's tied for 45th in hitting at 1b!!!
I know he's a popular player, but by no means is he a HOF'er except in a "pioneers of the game" manner

As another person mentioned in the Kling argument. It's kind of the same case for Chase.
Chase was considered to be the best defense first baseman by many people. Throw that in with pretty solid numbers (for the era) 2,100+ hits. A 17!!!HR season. Close to 1,000 RBI and not too far off .300 average.
I think it's more of his gambling issues that has kept him away from the Hall.
