Addie's numbers were exceptional. As someone mentioned, it is unfair to say he wasn't elected to the Hall until 68 years after his career was over. Not only did the Hall not exist for a good chunk of that time, but when it was created, the rules required 10 years of service to be eligible---that is, until the rules were changed in late 1977. Addie went in the next year, his first year of eligibility.
