Being a kid and watching sports you don't get all the nuances of what each player brings. When reading what Lolich and Stanley said about McAuliffe I would have liked him more. But being a kid and thinking, Oh No McAuliffe's up, there goes the inning, was definately not the full picture of the player. I'll take any player who hates to lose like apparently he did. Everyone who watched him can never forget his batting stance, it was one of a kind.

It's all relative, the 60s are a strange decade. The 68 Tigers were the best hitting team in MLB, they were a few teams with a higher BA, but the Tigers were the best slugging team and the 2nd best OBP team. Any hitter that played primarily in the 60s has a hard case for HOF because offense was so depressed during that decade.
