Not in Hall of Fame News

It is with great pleasure that we have brought back the Notinhalloffame MLB Regular Cup, and let us explain how this works: For every regular-season game, we anointed the top five players with the most points, in descending order: 5-4-3-2-1.  We know the following: The top players for the MLB NIHOF Cup are not always the best in the league, as injuries keep players out of games, and a premium on staying healthy can help pile up points.

Each voter was asked to select 25 names from the…
