This is why I hate looking just at numbers. Guys like Parker, Rice, Dawson and I'll throw one more name at you from a while back, Vada Pinson, are borderline players. For my money, they were all right there as far as being in the top 10% of their contemporaries that is my loose cutoff/criteria.
I would rank Parker behind Rice, behind Pinson, behind Dawson as far as that quartet that is not in the HOF.
