Munson had shown signs of a significant decline, but agreed that maybe three more years would have probably put him over the top. He just needed more stat padding which would have come with time...1500 hits and 118 HRs is just hard to accept of a hall of famer. If you want to say "what if" you hit a really slippery slope.

All that said, he was a star when I was a kid, I feel like the 70s are largely underrepresented and I wouldn't cry foul if he made it in a side door to Cooperstown.
