It isn't crazy to think that playing for a winning team in a big market will draw attention to his HOF case. But this is how we got Freddie Lindstrom, George Kelly, et al.

True. Just saying, this is not just a WAR thing. I think you only put in Gilliam if you're leaning pretty hard on the slow fall of the color line delaying the start of his career.

2B rankings in The New Bill James Historical Abstract: 25: Evers 26: Childs 27: Gilliam 28: Schoendienst 29: Mazeroski Interesting to me that the post-WWII 2Bmen all got a huge chunk of their value in defense/baserunning rather than a big bat: Fox, Red, Maz, Junior.

I'm finding myself in the awkward situation of arguing for a guy’s Hall of Fame case who I don’t think is quite a Hall of Famer. I will say just a few things on why WAR helped evolve my thinking on Gilliam…

Were the Dodgers blue hats a lighter shade back then? Or is that just a result of an old photo?
