Ray "Cracker" Schalk

I was browsing around Baseball Almanac, looking up Hall of Fame catchers (baseball diehards lead sad lives), when I came across the name Ray Schalk.  I had a rudimentary knowledge of Schalk's career, but was surprised to see he was a HOFer, particularly when I saw his stat line (.253/.340/.316).  I am not going to go so far as to calculate secavg, WARP3, etc for him, and I do acknowledge he played part of his career during the Dead Ball Era, but the Dead Ball Era limited power, not average.  It seems to me that he got into the Hall mostly through defense, speed, and the fact that the Veterans Committee (which elected him in 1955) had fond memories of Schalk.  Most of the other catchers seem deserving, but I wanted to know what you guys though about him being in the Hall?
