You make a very interesting point at the end of your comments, and maybe that would be a neat exercise...to somehow construct a question about the avg number of times that the HOFers have made the All-Star game, vs the avg number of times a non-HOFer has made the All-Star Game (from a population of players that have made at least one A-S game)?

Obviously, it's not relevant for players with most of their careers played prior to 1933, and such...but perhaps some fun to be had there...

then you could come up with a stat that would suggest that you need to be in at least x number of All-Star games to be a HOFer!!! excellent...I like black and white rules!

This would be an attempt to use the All-Star game appearance total as a proxy for dominance...very simplistic and unsophisticated - just like me!!!
