If you're surprised to see Jones retake the lead at age 33, don't be. I've said it before and I'll say it again:
After that injury riddled Dodgers year, Jones was basically an average player for the last 4 years of his career.

Same for Roger Bresnahan? His management career looks pretty light.

Wait, are you not counting Frank Chance?

This makes sense, but on the other hand, I've got two different Hall campaigns built on the idea that career hits is the worst way to judge hitters.

"Blue Sky" by the Allman Brothers Band works for both. So would "Blue Skies" by Willie Nelson if plurals count.
"Skyfall" by Adele is also amazing.

(18/) The average of the 14 Hall of Famers is 26.6, a number that Jones absolutely blows out of the water.
The average of the 8 elected by the writers is 33.3. Jones also has a big lead over this number!

(15/) Fangraphs still doesn't have their own version of Wins Above Average on their site, however, using the formula
fWAR - (rWAR - WAA)
we can estimate what Fangraphs WAA would be.

(14/) The average of the 14 Hall of Famers is 28.3. Jones has a healthy lead of 7.6 WAA
The average of the 8 writers' selections is 36.8, a mere 0.9 ahead of Jones.
