Baseball writer Jay Jaffe has developed a stat called JAWS (Jaffe Wins Above Replacement Score). By averaging a player’s career WAR with their total WAR from their seven best seasons, JAWS is often used to determine the worthiness of a player for the Hall of Fame. Allen’s JAWS is 52.3, 17th-highest among third basemen in history, although slightly lower than the average for the third basemen already inducted (55.7). Jaffe still believes Allen deserves induction.San Diego Padres Face Masks

"I can tell you with complete certainty that our same exact contact-tracing process was followed last night as what we do in every single case," said Dr. Allen Sills, the NFL's chief medical officer. "The fact that we were able to do it fairly quickly is not reflective of a lack of thoroughness in the process. It's just simply the amount of data that was available to be sorted through allowed us to do that."Kansas City Royals Face Masks
