The historical precedent is to have about 9% of a season's at-bats taken by future Hall of Famers. Thus, even if that number ends up being a bit high with expansion you have to figure that there are ultimately about 30 players who make the Hall of Fame. Using that standard, there's no question that Mussina should be in.

Actually, using any standard there's no question he gets in, but I just thought you might see it more clearly in this way.
