Haha so then you answered the question BOOM! Thanks

I'm with you. Any position that holds Jackie Robinson is unworthy of the Hall of Fame is untenable.

You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink.

I'm no statistics guru, simply too lazy to put out the time and effort. In Robinson's case, it appears that arguments can be made both for and against induction. BUT, when one factors in the other standards that are required to be considered by those who elect the players, I think his induction becomes a no-brainer. Having said that, I'm not in any way offended by the initial post which appears to have stimulated a healthy debate.

Jackie had a .609 winning percentage in games he started.
4th highest of post war players.
He made his teams much better and he was a winner.
