Was on 97% of hall of fame ballots in his first year of eligibility.

And the other 3% were idiots.

The toughest out in the league for a decade and a half.

Even with the numbers he put up he was underrated. He had 40/30 hr/ stolen bases before anyone. And was a great outfielder as well. Consistently great
