Maybe this methodology should be used in Cooperstown, so we don't have to justify guys like Belanger being in Hall on the basis of statistics. My wife thinks he's cute enough.

YESTERDAY'S RESULT: In a mild upset, a handsome Chase takes down Tinker's well-styled hair 31-16! (I am calling it now, but all polls within this thread will be left open in perpetuity...)

Updated bracket found here: http://www.challonge.com/mrt206

After starting, one per day feels rather slow. So, to speed things up, I will run three today, to be followed by four per day until Round 1 is completed...


By the way, I forgot to mention that Round 1's exciting action is sponsored by:

POLAR BEAR "Is now - Always has been - Always will be - The Best Scap Tobacco"

(I always loved their slogan!)


PS - Frank, you could do far worse than this methodology (certainly could be better than the veterans committee!)...

For some reason, Eddie Plank always reminds me of Mick Jones from The Clash. Kinda has a little punk rock snarl.

YESTERDAY'S FIRST ROUND RESULTS:

We had 3 blowout victories, with some of the big guns advancing:

Mathewson 29 - 11 Waddell
Wagner 25 - Dougherty 12
Plank 28 - Brown 9

... which is actually great, as we are now assured an epic Plank-Wagner heavyweight bout in the 2nd round!

Updated bracket: http://www.challonge.com/mrt206

I will post the new matchups shortly...

This is kinda like rooting for a football team based on the uniform?
