re: No MLB players elected to the HOF

His numbers might look similar to Biggio if you do not consider the difference between dead ball in the 80s and steroid ball in the last half of the 90s thru the 2000s. They do not seem similar at all IMO when you consider then against the standard of their contemporaries

If you are going to consider what you noted above, then you also have to consider half of Ryno's games were played in the hitter friendly Wrigley field... where as a large portion of Biggio's games were played in the Astrodome. Did you ever see a game there? It was HUGE.

In Sandberg's MVP year, he his offensive stats were lower than Biggio's 1998 stats by a significant margin. I'm not trying to debate if Sandberg is HOF worthy... nor am I trying to argue that he wasn't a better second basemen. But to not consider Biggio on par as an equally qualifed HOF baseball player is very narrow minded about the history of the game.
