I would like to see Garvey, Dwight Evans, Tiant, and Schilling all get in but not a hill I’m willing to die on.

As an Italian-American Yankees fan I'm not exactly unbiased, but I think Rizzuto is an okay Hall of Famer. He's not a great Hall of Famer, but there are far, far weaker Hall of Famers than him. His counting stats are low, but he lost three years of his prime to the Navy. He wasn't usually much at the plate, but he was a truly great fielder by any measure.
I'd be happy to see Tiant, Evans, and Schilling in the HOF - not a Garvey believer myself.
