There are certain discrepancies between the listing of HoF'ers in OOTP and the real-world history of MLB, at least through OOTP 18, for sure.

In this thread, I will note them, as best as I can, and others may do so as well, of course. These discrepancies may be because the game only seems to recognize WAR as the only determinant of which team a player may get inducted for, IIRC. If so, that shouldn't necessarily be the case here, I think.

For starters, both Sutter and Herzog, for instance, represent the Cardinals in the real Hall, not the Cubs or Orioles, respectively, as OOTP currently seems to list them both in the Hall. I'm sure that there are others also listed under the wrong teams in OOTP, and as I find them, I will list them below.

Next time I start another game using a suitable quickstart, or play from 2017, I'll try to note possible errors of this nature, then list them here. Even if OOTP will no longer update or patch version 18, they could hopefully use this info to patch 19, and include relevant corrections for future versions of OOTP Baseball games, I'm sure, if they so chose. CD out.
