IMO, anyone who needs a case built for them to be in the HOF should not be in. Only the "Best of the Best" should get in and those should be obvious selections like Greg Maddux and Ken Griffey Jr. If the BBWAA does not vote in a player only 5 seasons after his retirement when his career is still fresh in the minds of the voters, he should not get in, after say 5 tries. If he was not dominant enough to be voted in after 5 tries, then he was not one of the "Best of the Best". He was probably a very good player, but not a HOFer.
