Hal Chase is the first inductee to not have played in a WS. Perhaps because he threw ball games down the stretch. Those rumors, however, are not enough from keeping him out of the Hall on the Veteran Standard.

From 1885 to 1902 he accumulated 2838 hits while batting .317. He won a Gold Glove and was an All Star 6 times. He retired with 964 stolen bases.

Joe Torre enters with above average numbers in both HOFm and HOFs categories.

His 3236 career hits places him 4th on the all time list behind fellow HOFers Kauff, Speaker, and Lajoie.

From 1919 to 1936 he batted .317 and collected 200 hits in a season 5 times. He caught 2501 games, the most for a career. He holds the majority of slots on the career leaderboard for catchers. Among the single season records he holds is an OPS of .950 from the 1929 season. he won 2 MVPs, a GG, and 3 WS titles in 4 appearances.

Dave Parker just missed getting in on the Veterans Standard, then I realized that I had not counted the 3 MVP awards he had won, and this put him over the top of the threshold. The 24 points in the HOF Monitor made the difference.

Parker becomes the second player not selected by the program to be in the Hall, but he is clearly deserving of induction.

Along with his 3 MVPs, he was an 8 time All-Star, won 3 GGs, and won the ROY in a career that ran from 1889-1903.

In 1517 games he collected 1889 hits while batting .324 for his career in which he collected 2 batting titles.

Parker won a Championship in his only opportunity in 1896.
