Not only have they changed the face of sports evaluation for ever, some of them are downright hilarious. At Baseball Think Factory they've been discussing the upcoming candidacy of Rafael Palmeiro for the Hall of Fame/Hall of Merit ballots. A commentor who calls himself Campeones de la Serie Mundial submitted the following:
(To the tune of "Oh Tannenbaum")
Oh perjury, oh perjury,
Palmeiro lied to Congress.
He swore his homerun hitting might
Was clean as winter snow is white.
Oh perjury, oh perjury

His stats need some deduction.
Oh perjury, oh perjury

The steroids that he liked to take
Oh perjury, oh perjury,
He's on the edge regardless.
