I'm playing a regular league with this year's rosters, and I'd like to have Negro Leaguers like Josh Gibson, Oscar Charleston, Martin Dihigo in the Hall of Fame.

I can search for them and find them, and I can click on the "Induct Player to HoF" function in the Actions drop-down ... but the player does not appear in the Hall of Fame: no plaque is created, and they're not listed in the "Sortable HOF" function. The player's own page says he's in the Hall of Fame, but that's it.

If I try to put an MLB player in the Hall of Fame (Gil Hodges, e.g.), everything works fine. So I suspect it has something to do with the fact that Gibson/Charleston/Dihigo never played MLB.

Any way I can get them into my HOF anyway? Or is this just the way it is?
