I think the HOF should take on a historic view of the game and create a section of the HOF dedicated to the pioneers of the game. Ross Barnes (and others) should be recognized for their contributions to the game.
As far as Joe Torre is concerned I think he should make it based on both his playing career and managerial career. Some might argue that he should make it as a manager alone but please consider this - even Lenny Dykstra couldn't have screwed up managing those teams that were given to Torre.
