While I agree wholeheartedly with your point Chris that you can't compare players of different eras without putting their eras into context, it should be noted that Daubert was one of a bunch of very good first basemen from his era. Very good, but not great.
The argument that Daubert should be in because he's better than George Kelly is a very dangerous one, and it's an argument that Bill James absolutely hates. If we put in every player who is better than the worst player in the HOF, there would suddeny be hundreds of new Hall of Famers. It is an absolute shame that Ron Santo is not in the Hall of Fame, and so sad that when he is finally inducted it will be posthumously. Greg
