I think the reasoning for why he stopped playing would be important. Like if he played for ten more years at exactly 0 WAR, then he might not be a Hall-of-Famer. But if he had some catastrophic injury and had to stop playing, then I think he's definitely in.

He's won two MVPs and finished second four (!) other times. He's led the league in runs, RBIs, stolen bases, walks, OBP, and slugging in his career (multiple times for most of those). He's the all-time career leader in slugging and in OPS. All of this is more than a lot of Hall-of-Famers can say.
