x7 All Star
x3 World Series Championship Teams
x2 AL MVP
x1 Home Run Leader
x2 RBI Leader
.260 Batting Average
275 Home Runs
850 RBIs
In addition, he was a gentleman representative of the game, put up with a lot of bull shit, and sold a hell of a lot of tickets.
There are definitely a lot of players in the Hall that have accomplished less.

I don't disagree, he's certainly accomplished more than some Hall of Fame guys, I'm traditionally a "Small Hall" believer. I think it should be much more exclusive than it actually is. That ship sailed though once the cronyism of the original veterans committee started to occur.
