I guess no one figured in home field advantages and road splits for the first 175 players inducted into the HOF.
Maybe Chuck Klein and Mel Ott should be re-evaluated. But if they did, they had best look at all the ballparks that every great player played in, being careful to penalize them for playing wherever they played.
Or better yet, can’t we just celebrate that Helton indeed produced those stats (as did Walker) and admit that he was a great hitter overall?
He is comparable to dozens of other HOF players.
As it appears to be getting increasingly easier to get inducted, I think Todd will get in...and the trivia guys will need to find a different angle
I also hope some other great candidates get recognized. As a HOF collector, I don’t mind adding more cards to my collection. I doubt players like Baines ‘s cards will set me back like Speaker or Grove.
