But before you start comparing Reggie to everyone else in the HOF, to me the HOF should be about half its current size.

I agree, so if Reggie Jackson is a low end HOFer and his stats out rank Dunn's (and not by just a small margin) than it is obvious that Dunn is not a HOF by any stretch of the imagination.
