You’re offering nothing but an emotional reaction.

Why else would someone claim the all-time hit leader is not one of the top 5 players in baseball history.

Lifetime .303 avg. 17 time all star.

Emotion has clogged your mind.

Babe Ruth
Lou Gehrig
Ted Williams
Willie Mays
Walter Johnson
Warren Spain
Bobby Bonds
Cy Young
Pete Alexander
Nolan Ryan
Ty Cobb

A singles hitter, especially the one who has the most hits lifetime, is definitely a great baseball player.
These players are better than the one who you mentioned.
Of course, he isn’t in the HoF because he voluntarily signed a contract to stay away from baseball.
Period.

Perhaps because he's not simplistically sticking to one statistic while ignoring many far more valuable ones?
