Don’t really think he deserves to be in the Hall and very little support for him over the years, that’s probably why.

He had 1283 RBIs with only 2051 hits and had an OPS+ of 139. For his career, he hit .306 with an OPS of .931 with runners in scoring position. Seems like he did a pretty good job at driving in runs regardless of how many walks he had.
