HOF Standards (or lack thereof?)
Lets see.....
Do any of these Hall of Famers ring a bell? Bid McPhee....I thought not! Schoendienst: 84 HRs, almost the same RBIs as Munson in almost double the time and lower OBP than Munson .337 Lindstrom: 1747 hits just a smidge over Munson, 103 whopping HRs, and about the same RBIs as Munson Aparicio: .311 on base % Tinker: he thanks the heavens they made Poets and how about another Catcher that is in the hall: Ray Schalk (less hits, less RBIs, .253 BA, and .340 on base (all below Munson) Munson: 7 time all star, 1 MVP, 1558 hits, .292 BA, .346 on base % and all this from a Catcher which is one of the most demanding positions on the Diamond. If you doubt his Hall of Fame potential then you are delusional as are 90% of the writers that follow the herd. Oh....and I'm a Red Sox Fan! Nuff Said McGreavy

I think it's more an argument for a purely statistical based HOF which is why the women's golf hof is so interesting.

Sandy Koufax is another interesting one to consider. Five dominant years, has to retire due to injury... Dizzy Dean as well. At this point the baseball HOF is so hopelessly subjective I don't think we can even split hairs.

Infinite Expansion
Peter,
Amongst those HOF players I mentioned do you know how many MVPs they won? That's right....exactly one less than Munson. He was one of the best at the game for a decade, he has stats that compare to about 10 others in the Hall. His life was cut short through no fault of his own. He deserves a plaque. Whether your expansion theory is justified is also not the point. In the next thread you'll probably try to regale me with stories of Half-lifes in relation to the Hall. Hrumphh!  mike

He had four good years, maybe five. Let's not overstate the case here.
