In terms of "numbers", Chance probably best qualifies, of these three, to be in the HOF. Their #'s.....

Chance....1b....17 year career....BA = .297

Evers....,..2b....17 year career....BA = .270

Tinker.......ss....15 year career....BA = .263

All three were inducted into the HOF in 1946.

They were elected in 1945....WWII had ended, and there was Cub "fever" throughout the country.
The theme was "Tinker to Evers to Chance" and the Cubs became the NL Champs and fought the
Tigers in the World Series to 7 games.
