Flashback Baseball League HoF Advice

[Nukester]

I am having a hard time believing that Bugs Raymond deserves to be in the Flashback League Hall of Fame. So far this league has run from 1903-1925 and I have lowered the ERA requirement to a career 3.00 ERA and 250 wins for acceptance, but 300 wins also gets you in. Bugs managed to win 301 games in his 21 year career with the Philadelphia Philles, retiring at age 42. Here are his career numbers:

Bugs never won an award, but was selected to the 1904 and 1907 All-Star games. Bugs also won 2 World Championship rings, in 1915 and 1918. He is currently 6th in career wins.

Should Bugs get the nod ?
