He never felt like a Hall of Famer."" ""You can't argue with
championships."" ""If he was so good, why were his teams so bad?""
On talk shows and in sports bars, statements like these are often
made about both underrated and overrated players. It's generally
accepted that being in a bigger market or on a winning team can
cause a player to be overrated, while the opposite can leave them
underrated. Examining pennant races to show how much attention a
team receives and which teams are getting the most attention
provides a context to this familiar commentary. This book studies
the effects of the sports media spotlight (and its absence) on the
fortunes of teams in pennant races and Hall of Fame inductees.
Along the way, the author brings to light accomplished players most
non-fans have probably never heard of.
