Quis was a special case because every pitching coach in history hated his delivery.

As you can probably tell by my avatar I would not be averse to Quis being elected.
His peak was short but it sure was spectacular. If Bruce Sutter is in, why not Quis? (I know two wrongs don't make a right, but I'm biased so I don't really care in this case...) I'm a numbers guy, not typically disposed to HOF arguments that rest on intangibles, but he was an amazing guy as well as an amazing pitcher.
