December 2, 2011 by Mike Lynch · Leave a Comment
Champagne has been quaffed in St. Louis, free agents have already begun signing with new teams (where have you gone, Jonathan Papelbon?) and the winter meetings are right around the corner.

In Part 1 of this series, I indicated that the BBWAA (Baseball Writers Association of America) has been quite successful since 2001 in their selection of major league players for induction into the Hall of Fame. Of the eighteen inductees from 2001 through 2011, sixteen do indeed have Hall of Fame numbers according to the […]
