If upon a player’s retirement he finishes his career as the ALL-TIME career leader in something, he’s hall worthy.

It's easy to be an all-time leader when no one is even close in opportunities.

Maybe no one was close in opportunities because he was healthy, consistent AND good while others of the era weren't. BTW he was the all time leader in saves from 1993-2006. The modern save has been going on for 30+ years now. How many guys have more than him?
