Hello, baseball fans, and welcome to Amazine's "You Gotta Believe It Or Not" Virtual Hall of Fame. Amazine, as you probably already know is the e-zine blogsite at Major League Baseball's home page and at blogspot that is taking the baseball world by storm. While Amazine focuses mainly on the current Mets team, many of those stories link to past greats with similar unusual stats. Amazine's is a witty, humorous approach to baseball, a combination of Art Buchwald and George Will, but here you will find Amazine's more serious side as well.
Here at the Virtual Hall of Fame, as at Amazine, we focus on looking at the history of baseball through unexplored perspectives, using statistics you won't find in the newspaper. Most of our lists and charts of baseball greats are limited to the 20th Century, but they will make you see baseball history in an entirely new and exciting way.
Here you will find a complete coded list of every major leaguer who ever got over 200 hits in a season during the 20th century; a complete list of all the major league pitchers of the 20th Century with a .7 or better Home Run Average (AKA the KIGB "Kiss It Goodbye" Average); a listing of the greatest seasons for starting pitchers in baseball history using the GLAVine point system, developed here at Amazine; the best Scoring Efficiency Averages for teams, the Runs-Margin Index, and many other serious statistical listings as well.
There is also a section of the Virtual Hall of Fame where we statistically track the more intangible aspects of the game. There's the HWA (Hit With Authority) Index, the TOM (Two out Madness) Index, the DWI (Divisional Wins Index), and many other intangibles made concrete by our ranking systems.
Some of these stats may remind you of SABRE stats, but let us remind you that SABRE stats are not very funny. On a Funniness Index, SABRE stats rank about a 2 wherease the "You Gotta Believe It or Not" Virtual Hall of Fame ranks an 8.5, and sometimes a 9.0.
Are we partial to the Mets? Yes, in some corridors, and we think you will be able to tell. But in much of this website, we aim to be as impartial as the umpires at Turner Field are towards the Braves.
