What is the big difference then, between Hack Wilson and Roger Maris? Wilson had a good career, but his overall numbers certainly don't scream HOF. So if both are basically known for one huge accomplishment why is Wilson in and Maris not?
For the record I don't believe either should be in. Rob

He was very good, but I think it is difficult to argue for HOF worthiness based on such a short career (7 full seasons). If one has to make the argument based on comparisons with relatively weaker HOFers that many don't think deserve to be there, then I think that says it all.

Good point. Who was on the Vet Committee in '79? Might explain it. It's post Frisch, but some other good ol' boy networking got him in possibly  . As for Roger, never understood so much support for Maris' HOF bid either. He's not close either IMO.
