I had lunch with 4 non-baseball, but avid sports fans (football and basketball fans mostly). Ages 40-50.
None of the 4 had even HEARD the name of Baines or Smith!
They could name other baseball players, football players, soccer players, race car drivers, horses that won the triple crown ... heck one guy could even name a professional darts player.
But they never even HEARD of Baines or Smith (even after I prompted them by mentioning the teams they played for and positions they played).
If sports fans don't know your name ... you don't belong in the Hall of "Fame".
It's really that simple.
