I disagree when it comes to Daubert. He should be a HOFer without question. He was perhaps the best at his position and was regarded as such during his career. Also, the number one thing about Daubert that puts him over top and into the HOF for me is the fact that he stopped playing in 1924, not because his skills deteriorated (like in most players' careers) but because the dude DIED. He wasn't done yet and had it not been for seriously unfortunate complications from an appendectomy there is no doubt in my mind he is a HOFer (if he doesn't die)--However, I think he is a HOFer despite the fact that he died in 1924 and had a shorter career than he would have, but with a few more years of playing he is in (no question). Personally, I would rather see Daubert in the Hall than Ron Santo, but that is just my opinion.
