He posted a scintillating 0.6 WAR that year and had not at the time been above even 1 WAR for 4 years.

Numbers-wise, sure, I never said he wasn't a Hall of Famer. He's not out of the Hall because the numbers aren't there. He's out of the Hall because he bet on baseball games. All I'm saying is, leaving a guy out whose main claim to fame was that he was a very good, not inner circle guy who simply played for a long time (in part because he penciled himself into the batting order) is not the worst thing baseball has ever done by a long shot.
