Longevity
Longevity should be understood. Not a question of longevity being rewarded or punished.
To a large extent the HHOF does an excellent job of defining the value of longevity. Players like Dit Clapper, Red Kelly, Mark Howe, others who effectively had two careers at distinct positions eventually are recognized although they may have to wait longer than some would like. Others like Doug Mohns are not. HHOF appreciates the adjustments required for such changes and the value such players bring to their team. The HHOF distinguishes between moves made because a player was simply lacking certain attributes and one where a player was adding new attributes.
