To get into the Hall of Fame is another thing entirely; you need to appear on 40% or more of the weighted ballots across the Player Committee and Selection Committee in order to be enshrined alongside the likes of Jon Finkel, Kai Budde, Gabriel Nassif, Paulo Vitor Damo da Rosa and the other twenty-nine wearers of Hall of Fame jewelry. Just ask Ben Stark and William Jensen, both of whom have been eligible on multiple previous ballots but failed to cross that elusive threshold. While Jensen has statistics that have always made a strong case for his inclusion, his career had minimal overlap with many of the voters. Advocacy for Jensen by a number of Hall of Famers has helped get the word out about his career.
