		The selection of Dontrelle Willis over Brandon Webb as the National League Rookie of the Year on Monday is more comical than the popular show of the late 1970s and 1980s starring Gary Coleman and Todd Bridges.
		Even though Webb beat Willis up and down and around in every stat in which the pitchers have some say in the matter, Willis had more wins and fewer losses than his rookie counterpart.
		Perhaps they think Willis was the one responsible for the difference in these two teams win totals rather than the other way around.

		Regarding Vada Pinson: You could have advised that he was the second member of the 250 HR/300 SB club after Willie Mays.
		As a Willie Mays fan I hold the managers who played the son of Max Lanier personally responsible for the gaping hole in Willie's resume --- no RBI titles.
		When Willie was just about washed up, they put a 20 year-old journeyman to-be at SS and won the western division.

		Having just spent the afternoon strolling through the galleries of Cooperstown, I felt a sense of discovery as I read about these little-known players.
		Of the 256 players, managers, and executives in the Hall of Fame, the well-known players such as Ty Cobb, Babe Ruth, Willie Mays, Mickey Mantle, and so on only comprise a small number of the players represented.
		These men, selections of the often criticized Veterans Committee, all enjoyed remarkable careers and were themselves remarkable stories, as the author discovered.
