Jimmy's seasonal WAR totals, sorted best to worst. The average line is the average of all HOF after 1955 and the replacement level line is the 20th percentile, i.e. a "minimum" requirement (non Jim Rice division).
Seems like a convincing case to me that he should be included. 10 years as good as the average HOF including one MVP caliber season (8+ WAR).
Data is from baseballprojection.com

You put a lot more work into it
don’t feel bad. I can churn out graphs pretty quick but never feel like sitting down to write something up.

Just curious
If you have the time, what would Albert Pujols look like in comparison to this?

He would have the same total value but no decline phase

Its not exactly the same
but here is one I did earlier for Pujols: Pujols WAR
The blue lines in both plots are pretty much the same so hopefully you can see that Pujols is much higher.
