I think he’s in without having 3-4 more years like this. He will have 4 top MVPs. 7x AS, likely an MVP, and probably cross 2,000 hits if he just hobbles around for 3 more mediocre seasons. Also, was one of the dominant power hitters of his era, and actually stole some bases as well. The only way he doesn’t get in is if something tragic happens and he’s out of the league in a year or two or something else off the wall (e.g. PED use). I’d also say if he gets the triple crown this year he could retire immediately after and still get in.
