THT Live:Hall of Fame shutout

The Hardball Times The Hardball Times found this 7 hours ago on www.hardballtimes.com

Hall of Fame ceremonies will be held this weekend, when Goose Gossage, Bowie Kuhn, Walter O'Malley, Barney Dreyfuss, Billy Southworth and Dick Williams are inducted into the Hall. With such a diverse group of individuals entering the Hall, it's a good time to once again ask why Marvin Miller isn't there, too .

On July 21, 1958 Dave Henderson was born. "Hendu" would have a 14-year All-Star career, but his chance at true historic notoriety slipped away through no fault of his own. But was it for the best?

I updated our Win Shares stats through yesterday's games . Over the past two weeks, six players racked up three Win Shares: Melvin Mora , Carlos Delgado , Troy Glaus , Adam Dunn , Jhonny Peralta , Jim Thome and Ryan Braun . Looks like some sluggers are starting to heat up.

Pizza Cutter has a second column on his fielding analyses , checking to see which skills are most closely correlated. Many of his findings are intuitively right, but he also has some surprises up his sleeve. And Skyking has lengthened his list of top position players from ten to 25 .
