Yes, but this proves the point exactly. All of those other guys have more than 500 home runs. If Gil had 500 on the nose, he would have been in the Hall decades ago. That's one of those milestones that is pretty predictable. Why did it take Duke Snider so long to get in? I would argue the fact that he was shy of 500 played a big factor for a long time...
