Every year the Hall of Fame inductions for MLB and NFL are just one week apart. I've always liked this as it signals the beginning of the transition from baseball to football. From what I hear, both places do a wonderful job, but I've never been to either.
Ran into a very good pair of articles about each Hall. The baseball set (here and here) focuses on the players that have been voted in, looking at them by position. It looks at which positions have been chosen well and which haven't, with some healthy discussion of who is there that shouldn't, and who should still go.
The football articles (here and here) and they take a very interesting approach. They first take a look at each team's overall accomplishments in terms of playoffs and overall success and then compare that to the number of players they've had enshrined. From this they can tell which teams have been screwed by the process. The articles have comments on each team and short discussions of who could be added right now and likely future additions. The Viking section starts the second article if you're interested.
