Thanks - this gives me exactly what I was looking for; appreciate the assistance! I'm not that savvy on these things.
And yes - Dewey will be in the Hall one day. I think he deserves it for a number of reasons, but on an old-fashioned level back in the day 400 HRs was all it took. Without the '81 strike, he likely would have had 400 (he finished with 385), and when he became eligible in 1996, it would have opened the door for him. Same for Dale Murphy who finished with 398.
