I have formulated a device, Runs Produced or Prevented (RPF), that compares the chosen to the neglected. It is my understanding that MLB statistics are considered public domain. I have used these numbers to come up with formulas that compare players from three different centuries, hoping to have a starting point for what constitutes a worthy entry.I mostly use the formulas, but also rely on a number of vignettes-and I hope a bit of wit-to elaborate my contentions.

This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
