3400 hits, for one thing. Meaningless in the context of the era he played in, right? I don't think so.
And let's compare some meaningless baseball reference HOF numbers which are, I believe, adjusted for era.
Jeter
Hall of Fame Monitor Batting - 334 (11), Likely HOFer ≈ 100
Hall of Fame Standards Batting - 67 (19), Average HOFer ≈ 50
Allen
Hall of Fame Monitor Batting - 99 (163), Likely HOFer ≈ 100
Hall of Fame Standards Batting - 39 (178), Average HOFer ≈ 50
