Hall Falls Down

—

If a player went to bat four times in six years and didn't get a hit, he probably wouldn't command consideration for the Hall of Fame. Fair enough. If a player, on the other hand, pitched four times in six years and threw a shutout each and every time, would he deserve to be in the Hall of ...
