		Major League Baseball is considering the move but acknowledged that one issue was whether it would dilute the recognition given to the only player to have his number retired throughout baseball, Jackie Robinson.
		Bonds is the first player since Williams in 1941 and '42 to lead the major leagues in home runs one year and in batting the next (Bonds did so in 2001 and '02).
		He transformed the game of baseball, both in how it was played and in how it was perceived by the public, and he did so right as a media boom that was hungry for content was springing up around him.

	BBTF's Hall of Merit Discussion :: Dick Lundy
		Lundy is again with Almendares, and John H Lloyd, Oscar Charleston, Newt Allen, Biz Mackey, and Bullet Rogan also join the team, which this time won the title with a record of 33-16.
		I'm not suggesting Lundy hit like those guys, but it is worth mentioning, if only for the fact that he must have bad enough EBH pop to bat in the middle of the order for most of his career.
		Lundy's available stats are sketched together from the standard sources, Riley and Holway, as well as a couple of seasons of data from Gary A. Preliminary MLEs are made, with similarities yet significant discrepancies.

		The baseball writers' Hall of Fame vote was announced today and though the voters seemed to like a bunch of candidates (five got over fifty percent), they only took one to the big dance.

		Dandridge continued as a star player with Newark for the remainder of the 1930's, with his best average coming in 1935 when he hit.368.

	Negro Leagues
		A world existed for a half-century when the best fl players were not allowed to play on the same field with the best white players.
		The founder of the NNL, Rube Foster, was an overpowering pitcher and a dominant baseball executive in these critical years; he was also a great showman, and he brought his own Chicago American Giants into the NNL with seven other clubs.
		Over 4,000 men displayed their talents in the arenas of fl baseball - while apologists for segregation suggest that many of these were of major league caliber, that is almost certainly an exaggeration.

		There are 132 white players in the Hall whose careers began before 1946, so to reach a corresponding percentage, one might argue there ought to be at least 80 fl players.
		I think the Negro Leagues were much like 19th Century MLB in that you had a handful of truly outstanding players who would've been great in any era surrounded by players who were interchangeable with minor leaguers of their time.
		I understand older fans insist baseball was better more than 60 years ago -- an argument old-timers have been making since the days Abner Doubleday didn't invent the game -- but it doesn't hold water, not when records are constantly being broken in every other sport for speed, strength and stamina.

		I think the vast majority of these players are borderline picks but they fit the standard that the Vets have selected in the past.
		I have to agree with my esteemed colleagues that Miller is a first-ballot Hall of Fame type (though he missed out in his first appearance on the Vets Committee ballot in 2003).
		The players always balk at us statheads using numbers to analyze their worth, but without the statistical landmarks they are completely at sea.

		In 25 years of fl baseball, he was an excellent administrator, perhaps the greatest manager in fl baseball history, and among the best few pitchers in the early part of his career.
		Somehow, along the line, and probably helped by the full acceptance by MLB of players and coaches like Gonzalez and Luque, and clearly assisted by the exposure of American owners, white players and managers to Cuban baseball players, the pedigree requirement for obvious "whiteness" was discarded.

		Jud loved to hit and fight, and his run-ins with umpires are as famous as his batting exploits.
		Beloved by his players, when the white raids began in 1947, Wilkie gave up more men than any other fl owner -- 27 in all, including Robinson, Paige, Ernie Banks and Lou Brock -- and got almost nothing in return.
