Good points, was unaware of the circumstances surrounding the 1936 induction. And I agree with the "either in or out" comment...my point is how did nine say Aaron shouldn't be in. (We'll leave the "first-ballot sanctimony aside for the time being) Something I learned today, to my surprise: in Ripken's 20 seasons, he had but three where he scored 100 runs, and only four with more than 100 rbi.
