I believe in the body of work, not just cherry-picking stats. If HOF voters only looked at one or two stats, Blyleven would've been in years ago because of all the strikeouts and Maris would be immortalized in bronze decades ago.
Comparing Pujols to McGwire is somewhat disingenuous because Pujols is far more well-rounded. He's a legit GG-caliber first baseman and led his team in steals last year, not to mention the the batting average that like a hundred points higher.
