Well, yes. He hit .300 exactly once. Never hit more than 25 homers. Most importantly, he never hit 85 RBI's. Not a bad player, but not HoF material. Stats

It's the most difficult position to play, and Bill Freehan was the dominant catcher in his league for more than a decade. How many other men can you say that of? In the last 50 years, you've got Campy, Berra, Bench, Fisk, Carter, Rodriquez, and Piazza (almost a decade).

When you're the best player in your league at a position for ten years, you should go into the Hall.
