Michael
Hoban, Ph.D.
Here are the players (since
1901) who are in the Hall of Fame but who do not have HOF numbers according to
the CAWS CAREER GAUGE.
Keep in mind that there may be a
few players such as Roy Campanella who almost certainly would have posted the
numbers had not circumstances beyond their control intervened.
According to the CCG, there are
forty-seven (47) position players and sixteen (16) pitchers currently in the
Hall of Fame who do not appear to have HOF numbers – a total of sixty-three
(63) players.
