PCLet's not forget that hitting stats are not the only factor -- defensive skills count. Also, in the deadball era defense was arguably more valuable than hitting.
There are certainly players in the HOF that are less deserving than others who are in (and some that are not in). But when you evaluate them, you need to think about fielding.
Tinker and Evers are two of the more obvious "defensive" choices for the HOF, and some will argue they're in because of a popular poem, or because the team was good. Perhaps a better example is Roger Bresnahan -- he's often on doesn't belong lists, but he's in because of his defense (and because he was also on a great team with Matty).
