Belanger should be in the Hall if we’re going just by fielding.
Hey, I don’t really like Mays so I likely wouldn’t be a good judge on him.

Offensively Brooks was blown out of the water by 3rd baseman that came later like Schmidt, Brett, and Jones. I'm not saying he was a bad hitter, just saying that's not what he's known for.
