We all have varying thoughts on what the Hall should be. Personally, I have mixed feelings on quantifying every minute detail. If there was a statistical bar (i.e. .280/350HR/65WAR, etc) I would certainly be interested to see who’s already in and doesn’t hit it vs those who did and aren’t. On the flip side, I do like at least some human element. As many have said before, it’s the Hall of Fame, not the Hall of Stats. Canseco, Mattingly, and Bo Jackson were as famous as any other ballplayers in the 80’s and 90’s. I’m not arguing for their entry, per se, but I do subscribe to the idea that the Hall should be a museum that tells the history of the sport through the lens of it’s most iconic players, sometimes stats be damned. Stepping down from my soap box now.
