I can't answer a puhl without a "yes or no" option.

Santo is in arcade RBI, and he can be yours if you sign up on the ROM-to-cart thread

Mine too.
I think the HOF should be for the elite.  The cream of the crop.
I also don't think several of the third baseman in the hall should not have gotten in.

However, if you are going to use the argument, "Well, Player A and Player B have shittier stats than Ron, and they are in.  Then Ron should be in too."
Then fine, you win.  Let him in.

It isn't a shittier stats argument for Santo, though - he's better than lots and lots of guys in the hall.  If you're better than half of the people at your position, that's a problem, as opposed to "He's better than George Kelly".  Hell, Tino Martinez is better than George Kelly...

Santo should go into the Hall of Pretty Good.

He was pretty good, but will never get to the Hall of Fame

Then they need to start removing a lot of pretty good players from the Hall right now, 1st up, Brooks Robinson

That's the thing.  You are saying he should be in the hall since he has better stats than many HOFers.
If you gave me a list of the HOFers you think he has better stats than, I would probably think they were not deserving either.

That's all well and good, but the standard has been set, he's a middling Hall of Famer, it's night like he'd be one of the worst players in the HOF.

Who is the worst player you believe belongs in the hall of fame?

i think you should be able to eliminate people from the hall of fame, unfortunately, since we don't have film of older players it's harder to evaluate their intangibles, or they way they played defense, for example.

You hit it on the head.  I disagree with the standard, so I probably don't belong in any HOF debates.  I just don't think the HOF means a damn thing since it seems they allow anyone in there.  All you have to do is play for a good team and be well liked.  This seems to be the standard for all bubble HOF'ers.
