Baseball’s Best: Chapter Five Excerpt Added

October 25, 2007 by · Leave a Comment 

Yet another chapter excerpt from Mike Hoban’s book, Baseball’s Best: The TRUE Hall of Famers, has been added to the site.  In Chapter Five, Dr. Hoban asks whether or not it’s fair to use the same criteria to evaluate short but great careers, like that of Jackie Robinson, and longer careers.  He evaluates the careers of a handful of players who played in fewer than 1800 games—men like Hank Greenberg, Mickey Cochrane and Kirby Puckett—and also discusses several more Hall of Famers who did not meet the minimum requirements based on his NEWS Hall of Fame Monitor scores.  Check it out!
