There were no inductions in 1950, so I decided to take a look at the numbers of the Hall, at this point.

First, the omissions.

Eligible players with the most:

Hits - Buddy Bell, 3187, 11th
HRs - Johnny Lewis, 275, 14th
Wins - Al Pratt, 363, 7th
Ks - Al Pratt, 3999, 2nd

Eligible players leading in career categories:

Caught Stealing - Bert Campaneris, 869
Walks - John J McGraw*, 1929 (McGraw retired in 1948, so became officially eligible this year. He has not been passed over by the process.)
Saves - Kanley Jansen, 207
Games - Kanley Jansen, 1020
Losses - Al Pratt, 343
Walks - Al Pratt, 2328
George Knight pitched from 1901-1916 and holds the career bests in H/9, K/9, and OppSlg

Buddy Bell retired in 1935, so in 5 years he will be eligible for the Veteran Standard. He has fallen short on the 'first ballot' screening and 2 subsequent checks with the normal standard which is to exceed the Hall average in one of the 4 categories.

Johnny Lewis did not get a 'first ballot' screening because the software did not induct him on the default setting. He has yet to receive a screening. He became eligible in 1948.

Al Pratt has not been screened since his initial 'first ballot'. He will get in when his name pops to the top of the random sort.

Campaneris has been screened 3 times. He has come close to getting in on the Veteran standard. It is a toss up whether or not he will get in on that standard before he gets eliminated from the spreadsheet. Each screening requires better numbers to stay in consideration. CS isn't a positive stat, obviously, but he does have 8GGs and 2 WS at SS which helps his HOFm/s numbers.

McGraw is yet to be screened.

Jansen and Knight probably won't get in because of the remaining back log of pitchers who will most likely keep the selection process from going to a career pitching leader, again.
