As mentioned above, it's about their huge cultural impact on the game. Some may not weigh that as much as Kaat's broadcasting emmy awards, but I believe it's just as important for someone's place in baseball history.

Sorry if I misunderstood. I think you’re basically referencing the “fame” part of hall of fame.
And I think that does help a case, if they are famous for being one of the best players of “some period of time”, an MVP, big playoff performer, etc.
I think you need to have numbers at or near the HOF standard, but fame can put a borderline candidate over the top.
