Many of you visiting here may know at least one of us, the electors of the Hall of Miller and Eric. You’ll know that we love the Baseball Hall of Fame, which is why we feel compelled to create a better one.
But just in case you don’t know us, here’s who we are and our individual philosophies on electing HoMErs. And in case you don’t already know, we tend to agree on a lot of things…and really disagree on others. One of us teaches debate; the other one writes persuasive copy for a living. Let the fun begin!
He’s the rhetor and public speaking professor by day. He debates baseball by night.

He’s the marketing guy whose head is either in persuasive copy or a sales spreadsheet by day. By night his head is in baseball spreadsheets. Eric participated in the Hall of Merit project at Baseball Think Factory back when Win Shares were the new thing, when Baseball Prospectus was free online, and when people still had land lines.

the Hall of Miller and Eric 
Very cool site & concept. Was pleasantly surprised to see Roscoe Barnes and Sherry Magee make it into your Hall; gives you guys some credibility compared to Cooperstown !!

Posted by eric | August 19, 2015, 7:08 pmEric, I’m liking your catching adjustments. For calculating the annual bonus, where are you getting the numbers for the 3rd most catcher PAs? Is there a website that has this information?
Posted by CARL J GOETZ | July 11, 2018, 10:45 amI used BBREF’s Play Index to determine this.
Posted by eric | July 11, 2018, 11:06 amDo you then adjust this for an estimate of PAs while Catching? For example, for 1999, I get 593 as 3rd most PAs of anyone who caught. I can’t see who that is since I don’t subscribe to PI, but I assume that distinction is necessary to determine an accurate bonus for each year.

Posted by Carl Goetz | January 31, 2019, 4:03 pmWell, just is a bit diminutive….
