1931 Hall of Fame Induction

I have decided to change the format of the annual HOF post to show voting results. These results are fictional since the ones generated by OOTP16 don't seem to work correctly (every player received either 100% or 0%). I will use the new MLB rules where a player remains on the ballot for only 10 seasons.

This year we see two first timers voted in. Tris Speaker (BOS) won just two BOY Awards but he was regarded as one of the best hitters in the AL, and one of the best defensive centerfielders of all time. Dazzy Vance (PIT) was regarded as one of the finest pitchers to ever pitch in MLHR.
