He absolutely is a HOF'er. Yes, he fell off a cliff big time in his final years in the league. Nor did he ever achieve the "milestone" stats like 3000 hits or 500 HR's. But he was a force in CF and an automatic out every time someone hit the ball his way. He won 10 straight Gold Gloves! And he hit over 400 HR's. As I've asked before, what more did he have to do? He's a HOF'er period.

Exactly. Much like Dale Murphy his last few years really put a dent in his batting average.
