Will Johnny Damon make the Hall of Fame? Solid numbers, but in my opinion, he's not a great player, just?

These days it's all about numbers alone. Well, that and pleasing writers. There used to be rule-of-thumb things a guy could do to get in no matter what: hitting 500 HRs, winning 300 games, and so forth. Now those bench marks have become the drawing line. 493 HRs? Sorry. 288 wins? Out. But it used to be about greatness. A guy could be Hall worthy without a .350 BA. Ron Santo is probably the best example. Gill Hodges another. And guys like Bert Blyleven can be kept out for years for ticking the writers off. It's all about the back of the baseball card now. It's become the Hall of Long Time Players.
