Baines does, but Baines' entry takes it from a top 1% Hall to a top 4ish% Hall, so it affects far more players than Parker and Franco. Ugh. There are other guys in there less deserving than Baines, but not many. This post is not meant to diminish The Game's joy at his guy getting in. I'm happy for him as well as other Baines fans, as he will represent the Hall with class, dignity, and humility which is more than you can say for other guys in there. It's just my opinion that we've opened the floodgates, and made HoF inclusion even more confusing. Now everyone and their dog will be clamouring for their favourite player to get in because "He had a better career than Baines". Where does it end?
