I also love Minoso and Oliva, in fact I like to collect these near-HOFers because they each have great stories and near-greatness.
It's too bad he's worried about it, but I understand that he would love to be a hall of famer - who wouldn't
I also don't have his 1959 Kahn's. If anyone has one - let me know!

This is EXACTLY how I feel about Dale Murphy. My favorite player growing up, and a fine member of the Hall of the Very Good, but his career ended too quickly and his peak just wasn't long enough to make him a HOF'er.
But, I could care less! He's still the man in my heart!
