Tris Speaker gets in as the leader in hits prior to the 1936 season with 3739. 18 consecutive Gold gloves is something I have never seen before in OOTP, but he got them in CF from 1885-1902.

His OOTP (and RL) black and gray ink totals were 126 (34) and 382 (346).

OOTP (and RL) HofM 467 (346)

OOTP (and) HoFS 79 (73)
-------------

Duke Snider, though no longer the career leader in HRs after the 1935 season had the most HRs of any eligible player with 233, so he gets in the inaugural class. A .300 career average, 2741 career hits from 1912-1931, and 4 Gold Gloves give him borderline modern day numbers. Considering the era in he played, the decision to give a slot to the HR leader has not resulted in a questionable selection.

Black/Gray 21 (28) and 286 (183)
HofM/HofS 80 (152) and 59 (47)
-------------

For the third hitter I decided to put in the eligible player with the highest WAR/VOR position. That player was Rod Carew. From 1907 to 1925 Rod racked up 3100 hits while batting .325 for his career and winning two MVP awards.

B/G 32 (42) and 208 (148)
HofM/HofS 182 (242) and 45 (55)

ADD: Real life parallel, Rod Carew wins batting title without hitting HR in 1894.
--------------

Generally, though there will be plenty of exceptions, it is anticipated that hitters enshrined in the early years will have higher B/G numbers due to fewer teams, but lower HofM and HofS numbers due to fewer games per season and a more difficult offensive environment.
