Musings for a Snowy Day

Steven Goldman Pinstriped Bible Jan 12 2011, 11:20a

Pettitte-Morris We’ve been doing a lot of debating about the Hall of Fame on this site recently, and I’m a bit late to the party. Actually, I’m a bit late to everything. People like to...

Hall of Fame Results

Cliff Corcoran Pinstriped Bible Jan 5 2011, 3:20p

By what logic can Roberto Alomar be named on 90 percent of the writers' Hall of Fame ballots while Alan Trammell is named on fewer than 25 percent? (AP) The Hall of Fame results are...

Hall of Fame Hierarchy

Cliff Corcoran Pinstriped Bible Dec 30 2010, 4:30a

Hall of Fame voters can't logically vote for Roberto Alomar or Barry Larkin without also voting for the similarly deserving Alan Trammell. Jay has the Hall of Fame pretty well locked...

Bill King among the Ford C. Frick award finalists again!

posted by oakballnack, Oct 11, 2011

King is once again a Ford C. Frick award finalist - does anyone know if there is a way to contact/email John Miller or Lon Simmons? They are among the 15 living award recipients that will be voting in the final vote along with 5 historians. It would be nice to let them know that the fans would appreciate not only their vote for King, but their campaigning on his behalf with the other voters. They were friends of his, and they know better than most how deserving he is.

The (weak) case against Dennis Rodman.

posted by -PS-, Apr 04, 2011

Link cnn.com

The Hall of Fame is not for supporting players. Here are Rodman's scoring averages for his three seasons with the Bulls: 5.5, 5.7 and 4.7 points. And if you're going to tell me that scoring isn't everything, I agree with you, but would also note that the Hall of Fame isn't for players averaging four or five points a game. Even though the majority of Rodman's shot attempts came on put-backs close to the basket, his shooting accuracy never reached 50 percent in Chicago, and it was 43.1 in his final season there. He couldn't create his own shot and let's not even talk about him as a perimeter shooter. Oh, what the heck, let's talk about it -- he averaged 23 percent on three-pointers for his career. Rodman was a great defensive player and bebounder, but both must be viewed through the prism of his having limited offensive responsibility.
