They inducted Baines because a bunch of his friends were on the committee, but at least he was alive for the ceremony and probably did bring a few more people to Cooperstown. Inducting Glasscock or any others from the 19th century who have been dead for decades and who 99+% of baseball fans have never heard of isn't bringing anyone to see a speech by some random relative of theirs.
