To me there's two schools of thought on players like Rizzuto and Reese being in the HOF. One is there overall numbers are not there. The other is that they were playing a tough position during a tough era when sliding hard in to the shortstop was the norm, and they were still there helping their teams get to the World Series almost every year. With that said, and with the Vet Committee voters voting them in, then why wouldn't they in turn vote in Bert Campaneris and Dave Concepcion? Different era, but same circumstances in my book.
