Here's some data on HOF shortstops and Larkin. He had a good glove and a better bat than many who are in. Lately it seems to be a popularity and 'iron man' contest. There's a lot of weak wood in the HOF at shortstop

2004 - .295 Larkin
2001 - .276 Ripken (07 - 6 years)
1996 - .262 Smith (02 - 6 years)
1993 - .285 Yount (99 - 6 years)
1973 - .262 Aparicio (84 - 11 years)
1958 - .269 Reese (84 - 26 years)
1956 - .273 Rizzuto (94 - 38 years)
1952 - .295 Boudreau (70 -28 years)
1950 - .315 Appling (64 - 14 years)
1948 - .318 Vaughan (85 - 37 years)
1945 - .301 Cronin (56 - 11 years)
