Whatever Happened to the Hall of Fame? Baseball, Cooperstown, and the Politics of Glory Quotes

“What happened in Prohibition? What happens to you when you put on a few pounds, and decide to get rid of them with a crash diet? What happened to the, ah, romantic content of movies after public criticism forced the adoption of a rating code? What happens to a daughter whose father forbids her to date? Unwanted efforts to apply a strict standard will almost always backfire, and bring about the very result which they seek to prevent.”
― Bill James, Whatever Happened to the Hall of Fame? Baseball, Cooperstown, and the Politics of Glory
