There are already way too many mistakes from that big-hitting era of the late 20's and 1930's. We don't need any more.
Although I collect them both, either he nor Maris belong in the Hall.

Well, I agree defensively. His football injury hurt him, no doubt. But he hit above .300 for years, and was looked on as a star by every writer and fan it seems.
I guess for me my most glaring omission, the one that I just don't understand, is Gil Hodges. That one I just don't get at all.
