500HR, 3000H, 300W were all auto-HOF induction numbers. Is the bar being raised?
What if Kingman hit 500HRs? Does anybody think he wouldn't have been voted in? His BA probably would have been close to .233 if he were able to continue. If he retired in 1989 instead of 1986, I think the HOF voters would have eventually given him a pass. The voters were probably thankful he didn't get that far because that lifetime BA would have been a hard sell. Stanton is the next up of active players approaching 500HR. He's 47 away. This year he jacked a bunch at a pretty impressive rate (HR/10.4 AB). If he were to somehow continue at that pace, he'd be at 500HRs in less than a full season of at bats. He'd have 500HRs in < 7K at bats. That's impressive. It'd be hard not to vote him in. I suppose his overall stats aren't highly impressive but 500HRs is 500HRs. He'll probably be over .500 for slugging and his OPS at even .850 (if it drops that low) isn't bad. His lifetime BA (.258) at this point isn't horrible. Just my 2 cents worth. Not trying to start any crap, just wanted to put some food for thought out there. Edited to add - think Harold Baines, then think not inducting a dozen other players that are borderline or less. . . . .

Lindor, Ohtani, Ramirez, Soto should all be added
Ramirez 2013 7x All Star Lindor 2015 5x All Star - I see him on the list now Ohtani 2018 5x All Star, 2 WS rings, 3 MVP, ROY Soto 2018 4x All Star, WS ring Cal Raleigh 2021 maybe a little early 1x All Star, MLB Catcher and Switch Hitter HR record Yamamoto 2024 maybe a little early but is definitely on the radar with 1x All Star, 2 WS rings, WS MVP

Hands down I think it's Lou Whitaker. Arguably the best 2nd basemen of the 1980's and a partner in the best double play combination in history with Alan Trammell. His numbers compare favorably with Ryne Sandberg and Joe Morgan.
If he played for the Yankees he would already in the Hall of Fame.

Who since Rizzuto got in because he was a Yankee? It hasn't helped Maris or Munson or Mattingly or Pettitte.
