Not going to mention any names as everyone has their own opinion. The theme through this article seems to be Home Run's (lack of), longevity and Veterans Committee and, in many cases, New York. I do believe the Veteran's Committee feel they MUST vote someone it and how best to do it is longevity. If a player played for so many years he must have been great and, especiality, if he was in New York.
I admit I am biased but look at Phil Cavarretta's numbers: Career 22 YEARS WAR AB H HR BA R RBI SB OBP SLG OPS OPS+ 37.0 6754 1977 95 .293 990 920 65 .372 .416 .788 118 Played a long time - has a WAR of 37 but not in New York. I believe if he had played on some other team he would have been voted in by the Veterans Committee. Do I believe he belongs in the HOF? No, but he was better than some of the ones in. Just my opinion.
