Dinneen is 100% a HOFer:

-40 Years of contributions to baseball
-A no-hitter
-4 20-win seasons
-Led the league in saves twice.
-For many seasons he was at the top of his league for WAR and ERA.
-He basically won the World Series for the Americans (1903)
-In the 03 Series he won three games and pitched 11 strikeouts in game 2.
-28 strikeouts overall in the series, and two shutouts
-pitched 37 consecutive complete games earning the record for the most consecutive innings without being relieved (337 consecutive)
-As said above 8 WS Umpired, and 5 No-no's
-Umpired a ton of games (more than O'Day, Conlan and Chylak)
-6th for career games a HP Ump
-I could have made this list twice as long

Also +1 on Donie Bush for the HOF. Fun Fact: He discovered Pee Wee Reese as a scout (one of his lesser known accomplishments)
