Schoendienst: 84 HRs, almost the same RBIs as Munson in almost double the time and lower OBP than Munson .337

Lindstrom: 1747 hits just a smidge over Munson, 103 whopping HRs, and about the same RBIs as Munson

Aparicio: .311 on base %

Tinker: he thanks the heavens they made Poets

and how about another Catcher that is in the hall: Ray Schalk (less hits, less RBIs, .253 BA, and .340 on base (all below Munson)

Munson: 7 time all star, 1 MVP, 1558 hits, .292 BA, .346 on base % and all this from a Catcher which is one of the most demanding positions on the Diamond.

If you doubt his Hall of Fame potential then you are delusional as are 90% of the writers that follow the herd.

Oh....and I'm a Red Sox Fan!

Nuff Said McGreavy
You just identified perhaps the 6 least worthy members of the Hall to make your case. The far better question is, if those guys are in, why not Garvey, Hodges and Oliva?
