He's not even a top 200 hitter all time at his position!!!
from 1871-1920 he's tied for 45th in hitting at 1b!!!
I know he's a popular player, but by no means is he a HOF'er except in a "pioneers of the game" manner

Most people that know the game acknowledge the talents of Hal Chase. Yes, like a lot of other players,he was crooked. But he was one the best first baseman of all time, especially defensively.....Not really sure you know Baseball versus stupid ratios....
