I dont think it will open the floodgates. Keep in mind that Baines was elected
on the recently retired ballot.
The ERA committee elects about 2 players a year. The main one elects fewer a year than the number that the NFL does.
Not every great player will get elected on the main one and that will make it more difficult for players like Baines to get in.
I think its more of a case of all the planets lined up at the right time for Baines.
