Asked this question in the OOTP9 forums but thought I'd ask again here while everyone is checking madly for the new game. The old discussion is here.

Here's the situation: Over 8.5 seasons, he hit .317 with 1481 Hits, 274HRs and 982RBIs.

He also won 4MVPs, 4 Gold Gloves, played in 4 World Series with 3 different teams, winning 2 with 2 different teams, one in the American League, one in the National.

When he went down on July 30,1938, he was having one of his best seasons ever, hitting .349 with 25HR and 88RBI. Cut down in his prime.

At the time of the injury, he was 6th on the all time HR list, led the league in HR 4 times and had the sixth highest single season HR total with 52 behind only Joe DiMaggio with 62 and 4 Babe Ruth seasons.

552.4 career VORP over 8 1/2 seasons.

So cast your vote now, is he hall of fame worthy? I will induct solely based on your votes.
4 MVPs, 4 World Series with 3 different teams. 4 time HR leader with a .317 lifetime average. Yeah, he should get in.
