I think anyone who has a long term effect on the very nature of the game or how it's played deserves to be in. The key phrase being long term effect. Case in point, going way back here, Morgan Bulkeley and William Hulbert. Bulkeley was the selected to be the first president of the National League in 1876, served one one-year term then left baseball and went on to own numerous banks. Hulbert was the second president, turned professional baseball into a profitable and (somewhat) respectable venture and served until his death in 1882. Bulkeley was one of the first executives elected to the Hall while Hulbert didn't gain his rightful election until 1995! So, there are some in the Hall who might not deserve to be but some who, by their efforts in enhancing the long term standing of the game, have had to wait longer than they should have or are still waiting. Just my opinion.
