The Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum is a stockpile of great players whose accomplishments resonate today. Cy Young, Ty Cobb, Ted Williams, and Willie Mays represent the incomparable. There is also a secondary list of players. Elmer Flick? Bill Mazeroski? Candy Cummings? They are all in the HOF. Maybe add a secondary section named almost good enough?
There are several players currently collecting enough money to put them in the one-percent of the one-percent and they will eventually be in the Hall of Fame.
