Mussina: The WAR-rior

Thank God for advanced statistics. One of our first articles concerned Mussina’s rightful claim to the 2001 AL Cy Young Award.  The stats now prove it. WAR–or Wins Above Replacement–calculates how many more wins a player was worth compared to the same replacement-level player.
Mussina’s 2001 season produced the highest pitching WAR in the AL by [...]

Bill James Projects Mussina (sans retirement)

I stumbled across a fun tool on espn.com today.  It’s called Career Assessments and allows you to project the rest of a player’s career.  Now this is obviously meaningless because Mussina retired.  But if you are very bored, as I was, you can project Mussina’s career had he chosen to make a run at 300 wins.  James [...]

Three Quick Things About the Moose

Considering that Mussina retired 8 months ago is it too much to hope that his official website might be updated to reflect this? The site’s rather well designed front page still reads:
As a starting pitcher with the New York Yankees, “Moose” has proven himself to be a committed and dedicated team leader.  With over 235 [...]

The Class of 2014

We can all look forward to the winter of 2013 when Mussina will again make headlines.  The hall of fame class of 2014 will be debated and analized to a great extent.   The elections will be made public during the first week of Janaury 2014.  It’s going to be an amazing contending class.  The headliners [...]

Mussina; Most under-told baseball story of the year.

Happy 2009 Moose fans!
RealClearSports has named Mike Mussina one of its most under-told stories of the year. The writer acknowledges Moose’s fantastic 2008 season and says he’s a sure-fire hall of famer.  But the focus of the article is how amazing Moose’s career has been and how remarkable his retirement was (coming after arguably his [...]

Christmas and a Birthday Wish

Merry Christmas Moose fans.  And a very happy belated birthday to Mr. Mussina.  Our beloved future hall of famer turned 40 back on the 8th of December (soon to be a national holiday on par with the Yule-tide festival now in full swing).
Have a safe and festive holiday season from mussinahof.com

Moose vs. Maddux: Coming in 2014

Greg Maddux will announce his retirement from professional baseball on Monday.  This means he’ll be on the same ballot as Mussina in 2014.  This is another way of saying Mussina’s chances of being a first ballot guy, which were small anyway, just got a whole lot smaller.
Voters don’t like to vote for more then two [...]

2009 Hall of Fame Ballot: First Salvo

The 2009 Hall of Fame ballot is listed HERE (with fan totals so far).  Over the next month we’ll take a look at who we would be voting for, what the status of the players who are similiar to Mussina is and what the whole voting scenario means for Mussina come 2014.
I have maintained since [...]
