I run mainly Historical Replays with the occasional twist. My criteria for the HOF changes as the years go on. In the early years, 2000 hits will get you in, but you'll need a much higher average....just like the actual Hall.

Early on in my Random Chaos thread, someone criticized my selections for the Hall. He knew nothing about baseball's history beyond the early 80's, so I made sure to point out his ignorance.

Check out some of the players who made it in the actual HALL. Eppa Rixey? Rick Ferrell? There are a number of players that don't have the numbers, but they still deserve to be in.

Perhaps a nice addition to the game would be election via Veteran's Committee. Twenty-five years after retirement, a list of players who just miss the threshold could be brought up for election.....maybe incorporating the "ink tests" from CatoBase?
