but I am more of a puriest and I don't believe half of those in belong. The reason we have a HOF was so the town could attracked visitors and make money. Over the years baseball has helped them do just that by putting in marginal players
Santo joins, Doerr, Phil R, Richie and a bunch of others who were good but not the best.
I can even say Ripkin is also in that group. Yeah I know a million AllStar games etc except he was the best player on a bad team most years and his streak hurt the team
