I just looked; all that came up was "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" itself, an episode of "HBO First Look" which was about "Order of the Phoenix", and "The Hidden Secrets of Harry Potter", a made-for-TV documentary about, yep, "Order of the Phoenix" (though it may actually be about the HP movies in general). Nothing else.

I couldn't agree more. Carter is one of those guys who put together a nice career, then played for a while in a large market where he won the World Series while being very photogenic and freindly, all of which helped him garner a great deal of support after his retirement. I'm a bit of a snob when it comes to the HOF, and I don't like anyone who causes people to say, "Well, if so and so is in the Hall of Fame, then this guy should be in." Carter, unfortunately, is one of those "so and so" guys who drag down the general level of achievement needed for Hall induction. It's one thing if he'd been voted in by the Veterans Committee, but it's crazy that he was allowed in by the regular group of writers. Carter was a good catcher who had some decent offensive years, but his low OBP is unimpressive. He obviously had some power, but that was offset by his inability to reach base regularly on anything other than a home run. Carter deserves credit for being one of the best at his position for a while in the NL, but that shouldn't mean a plaque for him in Cooperstown.

Oh, Carter isn't nearly the least player in the Hall. Position matters, and Carter was a catcher. He was the premier catcher in the game for most of his career. That doesn't proclaim Hall-worthiness in large, friendly letters, but it does measure up, just enough.
