Yea, i think we have had this discussion before on how flawed the Hall is.
They spent too many of the early years populating the Hall with guys who "At the time" looked spectacular, but now in retrospect their numbers dont look so great anymore. ***cough**Lynn Swann **cough**
But mainly those players from the 70s is about showing respect towards athletes who helped change and popularized the game more than pure numbers.
