To me, if I think a player is a HOF player I'm voting him in regardless of what he did off the field and regardless of their numbers. Will Clark was the best first baseman in the game in the late 80's and argueably the early 1990's. Injuries taking a toll on his career are no different than injuries taking a toll on Sandy Koufax and Dizzy Dean's career- and yes, I think both of them belong in without question. And I would have no problem with Clark getting in. And as far as Palmeiro- 3K hits and 500 home runs in a career get you in.
Heck, I think if you are the best pinch hitter in MLB history, best set-up guy, best whatever- put them in.
Yep, just like I think Dale Murphy should be in the HOF. He was one of, if not the most feared hitter in the game during the 1980s, a two time MVP, silver slugger, gold glove awards....etc.
