They take it too far, this past year's class is a great example.

Total MLB players - 19,969
total HOF members - 340
Total NFL players - 23,204
Total HOF members - 362
MLB % - 1.7%
NFL % - 1.5%
The NFL hall is actually more exclusive than the MLB hall.
Just for fun - NBA numbers
Total NBA players - 4,374
Total HOF members - 178
NBA % - 4.1%
I did not know any of this beforehand. Thought the MLB would be the most exclusive and the NBA would have a 5 or 6 times higher percentage, not 2-3 times more.

The leading home run hitter of all time isn’t in.
Nor is the all time hit leader

Yeah baseball does it right.
Proven PED user David Ortiz gets in even though he wasn’t nearly as good as Bonds or Clemons who are both still on the outside looking in.
