31 - Hall of Fame Stats

The inclusion in and exclusion from the Baseball Hall of Fame is a continuous source of debate for certain players. Like all things baseball, experts have tried to quantify players' worthiness (and likeliness) of being in the Hall with different statistics. Your hosts Mark and Andy--joined for the first time by a guest, one P. K. Steinberg--break down these numbers and show where they come from and what they tell us. Although none is a be-all end-all, the numbers help contextualize the accomplishments of players over the long history of baseball. After becoming familiar with the metrics, Mark, Andy, and P. K. play a rousing round of Roll The Stat. Will the rookie win in his debut? Play along and show off your newfound expertise to friends and family alike, and let the Hall of Fame debates begin.
