Agreed. Absolute legend.
No. I get why people love Lofton but Hall of Fame isn’t “really good for a long time.” It’s “you forced your way into the story of the sport.” His case leans hard on longevity and speed but the peak just isn’t there. No MVPs, barely any top-tier MVP finishes, not a guy who was ever clearly the best player in the league or even the best at his position for a stretch.
The bat was good, not great, and the power wasn’t there. His value is tied up in things voters historically discount a bit like speed and defense over time. You stack him against the standard center field bar and he starts looking much more like Hall of Very Good. If you’re lowering the bar to include every consistent top-20 player for a decade then that’s fine but then you’re opening the door for a long list of similar cases.
