He also didn;'t go in until his 6th year of eligibility so it's not like he was a 1st ballot HOFer.
Aparcio has more hits then Ozzie Smith, slightly less SB.Same career avg. More PO, slightly less Asst. More E and slightly less fld % Slightly more Chances. So if Aparicio is not a HOFer take Ozzie out also, yet Ozzie was 1st ballot.
Did I forget to mention I don't like sabermetrics either.
Well Ozzie was a 70+ WAR player while Aparacio was a 51.7 WAR player. So really they arent that comparable.
