2nding your counterpoint @notgaetti 
The line of HoFers who cannot match Rusty in OBP, K's, Games played, and hits. 

It's 35 dudes. 
Among them, Mantle, Schmidt, McCovey, Reggie, Papi, Bench, Rolen, Morgan, Santo, Bagwell, Stargel, Thome, Foxx, Big Hurt, Mathews, Piazza, Snider, Rice and Vlad. 

Getting your bat, and that's what Staub offered, into the lineup 2900 times matters. His presence on leaderboards is staggering. He's routinely top 100 in a wide array of stats. When he's not in the top 100, he's among the best 200. 

Currently, Rusty isn't a hall of famer...but he sure as hell has better numbers than lots of dudes who are.
