Probably not. The stats are simply not there.

He was a starter for only eight seasons, and was a mere .266 career hitter. He hit 34 home runs and stole 73 bases for his ENTIRE CAREER. In his BEST season, he had 99 runs scored and 59 RBIs.

His career fielding at second base places him 53rd in games played, 54th in putouts, 78th in assists, and 31st in double plays.

He was eligible for election to the Hall of Fame for three years, and the HIGHEST vote total he got from the BBWAA was 2% -- something I won't disagree with.

Richardson's story is inspiring, and he had a good career. But it wasn't Hall of Fame caliber by any means.
