So you're saying his stats weren't quite enough, but if he introduced the signs to the umpire, that pushes him over the top? What about the fact that he played as well as he did as a deaf mute? Wouldn't you think that would also be a big factor in getting him in the hall regardless? His numbers might not have been unbelievable, but they were certainly above average, and he was supposedly a fantastic fielder. Still not enough?
