The Hall of Fame and batters milestones ?

I recognize B as Al Kaline. I don't know who the other fella is. But here's the thing. The stats of players from different eras aren't the same. Maybe A is a steroid era guy. That being said, I detest the current system that requires that player curtsy to the writers to get in and the 'rule of thumb' notch marks have become mandatory for getting in. If a fella hits 493 homers, he doesn't get in. 12 more and he does. Not much sense, that.
