out).
All Stars
Of course, that makes little sense, does it? Much more sensical, although equally pointless, is to look at the win-to-loss percentage ratio. If we divide the number of awards won by the total nominations for each winner, we come up with something like baseball batting averages. So here then, is the list of winners. (Shows with no hits have been dropped from the chart.)

Bear in mind that despite their relatively respectable performance at the plate, many of these players have been sent to farm teams, dropped to the minors, and/or retired to the old ballplayers home. And regardless of their poor performances at the plate, a number of these "hitless" wonders continue to play in the majors.
Our congratulations are extended to all the players. Win or lose, remember it's only a game!
