pete rose
i don't know what the fuss is all about; pete rose is in the hall of fame. he has more hits than anyone ever. don't tell me that's not the hall of fame.
what's that you say? there's a building in cooperstown that doesn't have his name on a placque? look at these numbers!

when he dies, they will put that placque on the wall. and he knows it. they might as well go ahead and do it. he's as good as dead to us, anyway.
in honor of the late hit king, i have invented a new stat. it's called hustle, or hus, and it is the amount by which a player's batting average exceeds his predicted batting average (pba). notice that pete's are always high. that's cause he hustled. also his contact is the highest i've ever seen.
the last column is wins above replacement position, a metric invented by clay davenport. it measures how many more games a team won than they would have with a typical replacement. anything over 10 is mvp-quality.
