The Negro League Hall of Fame admissions process, which has now been conducted in four phases over a 50-year period, can be characterized as idiosyncratic at best. Drawing on baseball analytics and surveys of both Negro League historians and veterans, this book presents an historical overview of NLHOF voting, with an evaluation of whether the 35 NL players selected were the best choices. Using modern metrics such as Wins Above Replacement (WAR), 24 additional Negro Leaguers are identified who have Hall of Fame qualifications. Brief biographies are included for HOF-quality players and executives who have been passed over, along with reasons why they may have been excluded. A proposal is set forth for a consistent and orderly HOF voting process for the Negro Leagues."-Provided by publisher"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Negro leagues $x History. 650 0 $a African American baseball players $v Biography. $9 205508 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft $9 801916 941 $a 1 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20221004015736.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=87C5D9EA300611EDA406B4E81FECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b KAYInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
