not tryin to start an argument, but guys like Maris who had a big impact on the history of the game (even though they didn't have HOF careers) ARE at the Hall. Their accomplishments are listed, game used stuff is there, so their contributions are noted. There's a lot of people who's impact in the game are credited at the HOF even tho they weren't career HOF players.
