Edgar should be there, but there is a pox on DH players for some reason.

And for good reason. Edgar was a great hitter for a while, and a certified Yankee killer. But get real. Al Oliver had numbers at least as good as Edgar, and he played a position, and no one is saying Al Oliver belongs in the Hall. I'm ok with players padding their stats in the late years DH-ing. Eddie Murray did it. Lotta guys do it. But a career DH? They belong in the Hall when middle relievers get in.

Reggie did it, also. He’s in the Hall.
What I am saying is that for a DH, there was none better than Edgar. He defined the position.
