Seems like a pretty exclusive club to me.

Not much of an argument when some complain that Cooperstown is getting watered down....

welllll.... that's sort of misleading tho isn't it? I don't think it's accurate to compare every person who had a single at bat with the HOF. What would the numbers look like if you limited to all players who were eligible for the HOF? (10 years of major league service) Because all players under that cutoff ALWAYS had a 0% chance of getting in barring some sort of mad career that ended in death or injury.(and was given a waiver by the HOF)

Mr. Kieboom has a higher OBP than all current HOFers. He never strike outs and scores every time he gets on base. To disqualify him from HOF consideration now seems a bit premature.

Well, at least I found a way to include Moonlight Graham.

...but the odds that any MLB player would be portrayed by Burt Lancaster are only half as long. (2 of 18,910)

It is exclusive, as it should be. Nonetheless, there are mistakes in Cooperstown coupled with criminal omissions.
