Despite the big market, bright lights and World Series rings, many
Hall of Fame level players from the Mets and Yankees have been
passed over by voters, often by good margins. The biggest reason:
they didn't accumulate those traditional lifetime stats in hits,
home runs or wins that typically punch Hall of Fame tickets. New
York fan favorites Keith Hernandez, Ron Guidry, David Cone and
others had the misfortune of playing before today's accepted
measurement tools like on-base percentage, slugging percentage and
ERA-plus (adjusting a pitcher's earned run average to the league
norm in a given year) became commonplace. Some players were
overshadowed by bigger personalities who were better able to take
advantage of the New York spotlight. This book makes an in-depth
case for the induction of seven Mets and Yankees, and evaluates
many more who have been looked over for a spot in the Hall of Fame.
Giving these players a fresh look, it uses advanced stats that
weren't around when these men were playing and places traditional
stats in the context of their era.
