Reading the user replies at that link, I am amazed at the negative attitudes towards Santo potentially going in the hall. I truly believe that looking at it rationally, there is no way that Santo isn't a HOF. This is one of the problems with someone just looking at career batting numbers and making a determination. Those numbers don't tell the whole story. When you take everything into consideration, Santo is a surefire HOF. I think it's a travesty that he wasn't in a long time ago.

I totally agree with you Deke.
