The four numbers are explained here (scroll about half way to get to the Black Ink):

HOFm is shorthand for the Hall of Fame Monitor. HOFs is shorthand for the Hall of Fame Career Standards Test. These are described directly below the Ink explanations. For my uses, I have tweaked a couple items. For instance, I do give a point on the HOFm for a no-hitter. I also now distribute post-season pitching HOFm points over the entire play-offs, in a proportional manner, when a pitcher's team reaches the WS in a given season. I originally did this for expedience sake, but then realized that this metric was developed before there were nultiple rounds of play-offs and few HOFers of the time had played in the play-off era, at all. I like this method and have implemented it for the follow-up league.
