When you think of Cal you think of the streak. I'm sure that most HoF voters thought about this too. I'm not downplaying it but come on, don't deny that stat wise, he was an above average player. He got in on the strength of his streak and not his bat or fielding prowess. Thats why I say he is in my eyes the most over rated player.
