Every senior at Hall-Dale High School must complete a capstone project.  For more information about the capstone project, see this link and this link.  The summer before my senior year I visited the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York.  While I was there, I was thinking about a way to somehow categorize all of these Hall of Famers into different levels.  My love for the game of baseball and my recent craving for the movie Moneyball sparked my mind to do a little more research about sabermetrics.  Sabermetrics is defined by Bill James, a sabermetric pioneer, as "the search for objective knowledge about baseball.  Because of my heightened interest in these two concepts, I thought I would try and transfer some sabermetric concepts into the Baseball Hall of Fame.  My project consisted of hours upon hours of research and organizing numbers in spreadsheets.  I created certain thresholds for the groups which are included in the presentation below.  After I finished categorizing the Baseball Hall of Fame into eight different groups, four groups for hitters and four groups for pitchers, I predicted the Baseball Hall of Fame inductees for the upcoming year.  I then was able to ask the opinions of some baseball experts and compared my answers to theirs.  I concluded that although sabermetric numbers can't singlehandedly pinpoint the reason for the player being inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame, many of the players who were believed to be the best were in my highest group.  Below is my complete presentation that lasted around 35 minutes, with 15 minutes of questions at the end.  Below the presentation will be all eight groups of players to allow you to see where your favorite players ended up.
