You're right, because the answer is obviously "no". A quick look at the voting habits of the BBWAA since they started voting on this reveals that. It seems that the primary criterion for a player's entrance into the HOF is his fame. Now, if you were making a "greatest players of all time" list, I would be inclined to agree with you.
