Media
Harry Caray Though his status as a Chicago baseball mainstay is important, lots of announcers have that qualification and I'm not voting for them. What sets Harry apart in my mind is his role in popularizing the use of "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" for the seventh inning stretch. Put the two together, and I think he qualifies.

Ernie Harwell is not in my queue

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Japanese managers
Success points are a Bill James creation. The numbers given are not discounted in any way, and are from a system I modeled on James' system, but isn't identical to it.

Kazuto Tsuruoka Manager's Success Points: 70
He is Japan's winningest manager, with 1807 regular season victories to his credit as well as a .609 winning percentage. His teams were over .500 in 21 of the 23 seasons he managed, and he won 11 pennants. In those 11 pennants was a stretch of 4 pennants in five years and another stretch of 4 pennants in six years.

Tetsuharu Kawakami Manager's Success Points: 60
He managed fourteen seasons for the Yomiuri Giants and was over .500 each season. He won 11 pennants and won the Japan Series every time. Nine of those pennants were consecutive, the fabled "V-9" Giant club.

Shigeru Mizuhara Manager's Success Points: 62
He won eight pennants in nine years from 1951 to 1959 for the Yomiuri Giants. He also won four Japan Series in the period 1951 to 1955 and won a pennant for the Flyers.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Major League managers
The major league managers I think I'd put in, together with their Manager's success points (as calculated by Bill James this time) and any comments I have:

Billy Martin 29 points .His behavior was poor, and he wore out his welcome quickly no matter where he went. But if you wanted to win right now, there was nobody better while he was around managing.

Hughie Jennings 24 points. An excellent shortstop, albeit in a short career. I can't go for him just as a player, but when you combine it with his success as a manager, I can.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Major League executives

George Weiss see this from Cooperstown's website: http://www.baseballhalloffame.org/hofers_and_honorees/hofer_bios/Weiss_George.htm

Paul Krichell The man who scouted many of the best players to stock Weiss' Yankee farm system.

other contributors on my ballot:

Ed Bolden Owned two franchises (not at the same time) in the Philadelphia area, Hilldale and later, the Philadelphia Stars in addition to being the founder and commissioner of the Eastern Colored League, all while holding down a day job as a postal employee. For more about him, see this post: http://baseball-fever.com/showpost.php?p=361408&postcount=64

C. I. Taylor built the Indianapolis ABCs into a powerhouse franchise in the teens. Riley says he is one of the two "geniuses" to manage in the Negro Leagues, the other being Rube Foster. For more about him, see this post: http://baseball-fever.com/showpost.php?p=361405&postcount=62

Vic Harris Won seven pennants with the Homestead Grays, 5 of them consecutively. He had a lot of talent, but with that talent comes egos, and he managed to keep them on top. Also a talented player. Probably a good analogy is Joe Torre. For more about him, see this post: http://baseball-fever.com/showpost.php?p=361404&postcount=61

Buck O'Neill see this post: http://baseball-fever.com/showpost.php?p=491052&postcount=248

Matsutaro Shoriki: The father of Japanese professional baseball. See this post for more about him: http://baseball-fever.com/showpost.php?p=442707&postcount=212

Lefty O'Doul A pretty good player who adds the fact he was a key player in getting professional baseball established in Japan. See this post for more about him: http://baseball-fever.com/showpost.php?p=442707&postcount=212

[jalbright]

From this post on, I will be posting those I intend to vote for with links to my reasoning why I will do so. I will also include some guys I'm on the fence about (sometimes without much discussion), and even some prominent candidates I have decided not to support, with my reasoning behind those decisions.

[jalbright]

Media contributors not yet on my ballot:

My contributors in the Media category are rather few, as I want somebody with a significant impact on a national level. Also, if one's contribution is limited to a single book, it has to be as earthshaking as the first Macmillan encyclopedia (sorry, Jim Bouton!).

David Neft Headed up the enormous and enormously important project of creating the first modern baseball encyclopedia, the first Macmillan Encyclopedia

Al Munro Elias For his role as a popularizer of baseball statistics

Executive not yet on my ballot:

Clark Griffith: He's got a better pitching record than I thought (nearly or actually HOF caliber in its own right), and then when you add in the fact he was a reasonably successful manager (career record over .500), he owned a World Champion club and another pennant winner and owned that franchise for a long time, I have to say the combination makes him deserving of the honor.

[jalbright]

Pioneers not yet on my ballot

Dr. Jobe His invention of the Tommy John surgery has saved countless pitching careers, including, of course, Tommy John's.

Dickey Pearce He was at least a good player in the pre 1871 era, and maybe even great. Add to that he invented bunting and made shortstop a key defensive position, I think he deserves a spot.

Dan Okrent Developer of Rotisserie Baseball and also played a large role iin bringing Bill James to the attention of a national audience.

Bob Davids the driving force behind the founding of SABR

Charles A. Leavitt, Jr. The architect fot the first concrete and steel ballpark, Forbes Field. After seeing it, every team wanted one for itself.

Joe Spear Headed the Camden Yards project. Combined the old style park charm with modern amenities. Every team wanted a park like it, spawning the recent park building surge.

Ted Giannoulas, aka the San Diego Chicken There were baseball clowns before him, but he's the one who popularized the mascot/clown role so that everybody has one.

[jalbright]

Japanese managers in my queue but not yet on my ballot:

My list of qualified Japanese managers. Success points are a Bill James creation. The numbers given are not discounted in any way, and are from a system I modeled on James' system, but isn't identical to it.

Sadayoshi Fujimoto Manager's Success Points: 49
He established the Yomiuri club as a powerhouse, winning pennants in every season from the 1938 Fall season through 1943.

Osamu Mihara Manager's Success Points: 44
He won pennants as a manager for three different franchises, most notably the Lion dynasty he presided over. He won 4 Japan Series in a stretch of five years.

Masaaki Mori Manager's Success Points: 42
He won 7 pennants in 8 years, and six Japan Series in seven years within that stretch.

Yukio Nishimoto Manager's Success Points: 43
He won pennants for three franchises and had a stretch of five pennants in six years. Unfortunately, though he led eight teams to the Japan Series, he never grabbed the brass ring, five of the losses coming to Kawakami's "V-9" Giants.

Toshiharu Ueda Manager's Success Points: 39
He won four pennants in a row, capturing the Japan Series title in a stretch of three consecutive years within that period.

[jalbright]

Negro League contributors not yet on my ballot:

Frank Warfield Won four pennants for three different teams: 2 with Hilldale, 1 with the Baltimore Black Sox, and 1 with Santa Clara in the Cuban league. Also a talented player. For more about him, see this post http://baseball-fever.com/showpost.php?p=361407&postcount=63
