For the record, Harold Baines was not a generational player. Really good player, yes. Probably the one hitter in all baseball that I dreaded seeing come up against the Twins. Will Clark, (with the Rangers), and Harold Baines were the two players that I would say, "uh-oh" when they came up to bat against the Twins. But in the end, neither Baines or Clark are Hall of Famers. Mauer simply did not have a legendary career. And legendary is what it OUGHT to take to be a Hall of Famer.
