For example how the hell is Concepcion not in and Ozzie is ?  one reason flare.. not overall play....

I feel Anderson will finally get in over the next 2 to 3 years.. sadly I think Riley will never get in. 

According to the advance metrics, Concepcion collected 39.8 WAR in his career. Smith had 76.5 WAR. The average WAR for a HoF shortstop is 66.7.

Generally 60 WAR is when HoF talk starts happening for positional players. (Not that getting in is guaranteed, but it means talks about it happening are.)

They were about the same offensively, but Smith was a superior defender, hence his 13 Gold Gloves, which is the main thing that got him in.

Dillon is more of a borderline for me. Sad thing is, if he was drafted by a good team, he would have likely gone down as one of the best RB. Same with Steven Jackson. Great RBs who probably will miss out on HoF because of the shitty teams they were stuck with.

Football HoF is very much a popularity thing, made worse by how many people they put into it. Like 7 a year.
