The list could be much longer. A number of those who've been elected were players with large market teams with an influential BBWAA contingent, or, who played for teams that won a number of World Series. If there are stats that should serve as 'qualification' hurdles, then they should list them and stick to them. At this point, it's pretty much a function of 'who is pushing the players resume' or, who's the obstacle keeping them out.
