Lefty O'Doul is not a HOF player.
He played parts of 13 seasons, but only 6 seasons did he get more than 100 games played. 4 seasons he was used as a pitcher, but only got 34 games with 1 start in 77.2 innings pitched. His ERA in that time was 4.87 and gave up 104 hits.
He only has 970 games to his career and 811 of them came from a 6 year span. He essentially had 3 good seasons as a LF 1929, 1930, and 1932. In the 811 games he played between 1928 - 1933 his stats would look HOF caliber, but he just didn't have a full career to warrant HOF induction.
