Robert DixonYour points are valid about Puckett, but I still don't think he deserves to be in the hall based on his career numbers. I do believe that had his career not been cut short, he would have easily gotten to 3k hits and would have gotten in without any skepticism. The thing is, George Brett and Tony Gwynn didn't play 12 seasons. Gwynn racked up close to 700 hits after his 12th full season. He also went to 4 AS games and won a silver slugger award. Baseball awards longevity. Career numbers are all that matter when it comes to the hall...not who had the best 12 year stretch.
