Tom:

I'm a big fan of Dummy Hoy (and, by the way, I might have won that Old Judge card that Julie flaunted above had she not overpaid for it! ), but I have to agree that his stats alone do not warrant enshrinement.

Wouldn't you agree, however, that if it was deemed that he was responsible for the establishment of umpire hand signals, that contribition would be sufficient enough to suggest he might be enshrined as a pioneer much like my long lost cousin Candy Cummings was for his "invention" of the curve ball?
