I believe Salim is about 7 years too young for induction. I think you have to be 50 years old? The same reason I did not mention Alexandre Lesiège who is 49.

I think roughly 50 years old is the rule of thumb. Alex L is in the HoF and got in a couple of years "early".Originally posted by Ian Findlay View PostComment
