re: No MLB players elected to the HOF

I LOVE Biggio for being a base stealer in an era where the stat bastards marginalized perhaps the most entertaining play (stealing a base) in baseball - I was however arguing against the point of view that Biggio's offensive numbers can be compared apples to apples with a guy like Sandberg who had the prime of his career in the dead ball era
I think Biggio should probably eventually get into the HOF - but I would vote him in well after guys like Sandberg and Dale Murphy because I value players who were regarded as teh best in the game more than I value guys who were very good or even great for a long period of time.

I know, and I was arguing that, adjusted for context, Biggio's numbers look even better. Look at the peaks I posted. Who had the higher OPS+, a stat adjusted for context? Biggio.
and had Biggio played in the 80s, he'd be stealing a lot more than 40 bases a year. He happened to play in a station to station era, and he still had tons of steals.
