If you don't know where Cooperstown, N.Y., is, read no further.
If you do, you may be interested in What-the-hall.info, a new Web site whose goal it is to make people think about membership in baseball's Hall of Fame. Its creator, Connecticut resident Walter Baranger, came up with the idea at the 2007 Hall of Fame induction ceremony.
There's a section on people who aren't in the hall but ought to be (Curt Flood, Jim Kaat, Buck O'Neil) and another on members of the hall who some feel ought not to be (Bill Mazeroski, Phil Rizzuto and Tommy Lasorda). Did you know the five men who have managed the Dodgers since Lasorda's retirement have all had higher winning percentages than he did?
And there's a new section, since the release of the Mitchell Report, called Chemistry Majors. It has nothing at all to do with sodium, beryllium or strontium.
