Chick Hafey a HOFer?

I thought I knew my baseball pretty well but you could have knocked me over with a feather when I checked to see if a claim by a seller that Hafey was HOFer was correct. The verterans committee elected him in 1971.

After looking at his career stats and reading a little bit about his career, he is one of, if not the least deserving player in the HOF. It really is shame what a mockery Sisler made of the whole Verterans Committee process. He basically got a bunch of his buddies from his playing days elected. I really think that there wouldn't be this huge outcry about a waterdown HOF if it wasn't for Sisler's croneism.

Personally, I'd like to see veryone elected by the VC under Sisler booted and let them try and get in on their own merits. Too bad this will never happen.

The HOF is not the Hall of Superstars.....It is not even only ballplayers........ I recall some hot dog and peanut vendors who were worthy of recognition!
And I betcha several could outfield most of those on the diamond.
