Hodges never received less than 49% of the vote while he was on the active ballot. If half the people who ever saw your play thought you were a HOFer, I think there's something to that.
Compare that to recent Veterans Committee inductees: Santo - never topped 40 % Joe Gordon - never topped 28.5 % Mazz - never topped 42 %

Maybe. But the point I was trying to make was that these players, who the Veterans Committee voted in, never received a higher percentage of votes than Hodges received in his weakest year while on the active ballot. Yet they chose not to elect Hodges.

It always engenders spirited discussion. I think they got it right.
