I'm sure the new publications director would find it an interesting addition to the dialogue.

And you definitely are thinking as I am -- what is a "Hall of Fame" season, or at least, what is a "truly great" season. I think that something like gray-ink done on single seasons would be an interesting indicator of this, and a fair way to compare seasons between players across eras. lar -- thanks VERY much for your posting and doing the SQL work necessary to get at least the best Black-Ink single seasons. Very cool. Definitely let me know if you are able to do the same for Gray-Ink too. A few years ago, when my SQL was less rusty, I would have tackled this myself. :-)<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('4654','Tom Stone'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('4654','Tom Stone','Matt -- glad you enjoyed my posting.

I read it yesterday and found it pretty interesting. I had never heard of the Black-ink/Grey-Ink tests. In fact, I found it interesting enough that I took it on myself to come up with a list of best Black-ink seasons (I haven't done Grey-Ink yet, as that's a little bit harder). Take a look: http://wezen-ball.blogspot.com/2008/12/black-ink-test.html Thought you'd be interested. lar<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('4653','lar'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('4653','lar','Tom,\r\n\r\nThanks for the post.

I don't think Black Ink or Gray Ink have single season calculations published anywhere, probably due to the intent of those metrics. But now you have me thinking of how to determine what a "Hall of Fame season" is numerically. Hmm....<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('4652','Matt Mitchell'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('4652','Matt Mitchell','I have yet to get into reading my copy of BRJ, but I must say this is very cool stuff.
