Once Harold Baines and Tim Raines were inducted into the Hall of Fame, the HOF was basically admitting that it’s standards are pretty low anyway.

Harold Bains especially.

Agree with you on Baines, he was a good player for a long time but probably not good enough for the HOF.

Raines kind of borderline as well, but he was a very dynamic offensive player for a long time. Did not have the big career counting stats for HR/RBI/BA but was just a little short of a lifetime 300 average and was considered the second best leadoff hitter of his era behind only the great Rickey Henderson.

Seems that way.
