Wow, didn't realize that the home/road splits were that diverse, still think that Santo was the most deserving in this group but those stats certainly shed a different light on it. I'm not sure historically, if Wrigley Field was as skewed a hitter's park as it was during the era that I grew up in the 1970's & 1980's.

I remember Santo as being regarded as the top 3rd sacker in the NL over many years. Induction thoroughly warranted IMHO.
Would love to have seen Hodges and Reynolds get in. Hodges based on his many years as one of the NL most feared sluggers and Reynolds for a period of years of dominance and excellence. Not a big advocate of the guys who amassed gaudy stats in part due to longevity.

What Frank and Peter said above -- agree completely. No way is he a HOFer.

For all those who think Santo wasn't worthy, can you name 10 third baseman who were better? Curiously, there are roughly half as many third basemen in the Hall of Fame than any other position. The problem here isn't that Santo and Boyer aren't worthy — the problem is that the Hall of Fame voters don't know what a Hall of Fame third baseman looks like. If he's not a batting champ like Wade Boggs or a slugger like Mike Schmidt, they think he isn't worthy. They expect third baseman to hit like outfielders. But somehow, they overlook such offensive limitations in shortstops, second baseman and catchers ...

I agree with fkw above...
Chris, yes I can. Frank Baker, Pie Traynor, Jimmy Collins, George Brett, George Kell, Eddie Mathews, Brooks Robinson, Wade Boggs, Mike Schmidt, Tony Perez, Darrell Evans and Freddie Lindstrom. There's a dozen. Didn't even have to use Eddie Yost. I'm kinda glad/ok that Santo got in... but then go back up there and read what fkw said, put those guys in, too. Along with Ed Reulbach. Then take a few guys out... that recently got in.
