I don't think a single achievement should be considered for enshrinement. While they mark places in history it's not the intention of the HOF. Besides Thomson you could make the case for Larsen with his World Series perfect game or even Tatis for two grand slams in one inning.
The reason the Thomson homer is huge was the games set up in baseball history. While it is memorable indeed it's actually smaller in achievement than Joe Carters walk off World Series win but no one is thinking Carter should go into the hall based on that. Remember while the shot heard round the world got the Giants into the series they still got killed by the Yankees during the World Series and if the Wolrd Series is the games biggest stage than a tie breaker game into it isn't. Nothing against Thomson or the game or moment but not worthy of enshrinement. A display in the museum, absolutely but a plaque in the hall, no. Just my opinion, Drew
