Hall of Famer?

This guy is a hall of famer?

What a classic example of a bullshit east coast bias. I have never been one to harp on the Santo argument since I like that the Baseball Hall of Fame actually is selective, but the veterans committee elected this guy before ours? Both were stellar fielders. Rizzuto's stats did suffer a bit because of sitting out for the war, but Rizzuto only went to 5 all-star games, starting 2. This is in an era where there were only 8 starting shortstops in the entire league! Santo's stats also suffered because he was limited by his diabetes. At any rate, here is a set of stats from a more deserving player:
#10
