Description:
Includes 2019 BBWAA-elected inductees Mariano Rivera, Edgar Martinez, Roy Halladay, and Mike Mussina. 31 variables for each player. Team=primary team; BBWAA=Baseball Writers Association of America; Bat: R=right, L=left, B=both; WAR=Wins Against Replacement: number of wins the player added to the team above what an "average" replacement player would add. CS=caught stealing. OPS=On-base Plus Slugging; as a rule of thumb, a "good" OPS is a value that when divided by 3 results in a value that would be considered a "good" batting average. Other variables are hopefully self-explanatory.

	By jpalmateer May 31, 2017 Great data set! I enjoyed getting to use this in my summer class today. As I used it, I did notice one small data entry error. For Jeff Bagwell, he was listed as being elected by the BWAA, not the BBWAA. It's fine, since it allowed me to mention that there can always be data entry errors in a data set. Also, it might be useful in this data set to have a variable for if a player is a batter or pitcher, not just position. Just a thought. Again, thank you for posting this data set, as I really enjoyed it for my class. And Go Pack! Jason Palmateer
