At the age of 82, Pete Rose gets into the Hall of Fame. That sounds fair to me. Rose is not the career hits leader. He did collect 2580 hits over 19 seasons from 1884 to 1902, but did not set the career record or even get 3000 hits. This is partly, but not in whole, due to the shortened seasons at the start of his career.

Rose did twice lead the league in hits and collect 2 batting titles and was named to 9 All Star teams. He never appeared in a WS.

I found the HOF statement generated to be very fitting, so I snipped it in.

In pure coincidence, the Hall manager assures me, Rose's statue is being placed to that of Hal Chase. Rose gets in on the Veteran Standard.

Black Ink 16 (64)
Gray Ink 168 (239)
HOFm 93.5 (311)
HOFs 48 (55)

--------------

Home Run Baker does not get in for hitting home runs. From 1880 through 1895 he hit 88. He never led the league in that category, either.

He did collect the MVP, along with ROY, in his rookie season when he finished second in the league in HRs...with 2.

That MVP season he posted a line of 356/376/530, league bests in all 3 stats, which was good for a non-park adjusted OPS+ of 191.

He led the league in hits twice and SB three times.

He collected 1906 with a career batting ave of .297. He won 6 GGs at third base and was a 10 time All-Star.

His entry is based on his Gray Ink number being above the Hall average.

Black 36
Gray 252
HOFm 56
HOFs 38

Baker would not have gotten in based on Veteran Standards because his HOFm/s composite was not high enough, this class. First entrant to get in with such distribution.

Side note: Bob Watson became the first player inducted by the computer to be eliminated from the spreadsheet.
