Hall of Fame

[henrich]

If you would like to compare position/era by a quantitative number feel free to visit the site www.baseball-hall-of-fame.com I have listed every hitter and their statistics that have 4000 at bats or more. (some current players are listed as well with under 4000 abs) Also, I've included any pitcher that has 10 years experience or more. All of these players listed are from the years 1876-present, but it's only 2000 players or so. It gives you a real idea about how dominate they were in their own eras as well as throughout all time. I was able to include quantitative numbers, # of times leading certain categories as well as post-season experience to determine one qualifying number for discussion of the Hall of Fame. Go to stats and you can see who is in the hall of fame (bold) and those that are worthy of discussion still (italicized) Have fun with the excel sheets. Page 1 is all-time by position by H-factor, Page 2 is sorted by position then by era and then by H-Factor

I quite like your formulas and they are a marvelous attempt at comparing players against those at the same position and in the same era. Kind of explains why Quisenberry falls just short for me.

Great statistics page too. I know some of us here will have a lot of fun downloading them and sorting through the lists. Your book also looks snazzy.

Care to join us in any of our projects here? Such as the mock elections, BBF HOF and the yearly polls? You certainly have a unique voice and system of categorization.

I need some time to sort through the rules for voting as I want to be an informed voter on some of these unique ideas. I've only recently visited this page and I need some time to sort through it. I just went through many of the strands that you all have discussed and it is exciting because of the organization as well as the educated posts. Thanks for the invite and I look forward to taking part in the near future.
