The Hall of Shame is a catalog of 67 classic major-league blunders: the missed base, the uncovered plate, the trade that only looks obvious afterward, the promotion that ended in a forfeit. The tone is editorial. The standard is the box score.
An entry starts with what happened, then with what the retelling added. Fred Snodgrass dropped a fly and, in the same inning, made a difficult catch. Bill Buckner's error came after the Red Sox had already lost the lead. Don Denkinger missed a call, and the Cardinals then missed a popup, a pitch, and the next day. Where a nickname outruns the evidence — the "$30,000 muff," the 1908 version of Germany Schaefer stealing first, a soaked glove in a Chicago dugout — the entry says so.
Some famous shame is not in this volume on purpose. Ray Chapman's death is a tragedy, not a blooper. Donnie Moore's 1986 pitch is bound up with a suicide, and reducing a life to one slider would be a second cruelty. On-field assaults are left out. The Black Sox scandal was a crime. Those subjects deserve a different room.
The catalog is a local JSON file, with stable ids on every entry, player, and team, so it can move later to a database without renaming the public record. A player page or a team page gathers the entries that already name that id. A suggestion, a correction, or a public-domain image can be offered on the suggestion page. The form is a placeholder and does not send anything yet.
