Dahlen is another solid example. No disrepect, but look at Phil Rizzuto. He was a fantastic defensive player, but his career stats do not spell "Hall of Fame". He only played 13 seasons. And he played in an era where popularity and being on a 7x World Series New York Yankees team got him elected. The Veterans Committee had to put him in.
There are a lot more. Dave Bancroft. Magee & Dahlen's numbers are much better than Bancroft.
Sherry Magee is getting the shaft.
