After 10 seasons, and in light of the fact that some of the brightest lights in the HRDL universe started mid-career in the inaugural season of 2010, league management decided to open the Hall of Fame. Initially, players would only need 5 seasons of service time to be eligible to appear on the ballot, with a 3-year waiting period. (The parameters were chosen in part to accommodate Sandy Koufax, who blew his elbow out after 5 glorious seasons, coupled with 2 injury-riddled season) Management anticipated raising the service-time minimum to 10 seasons in approximately 5 years.

No one was elected in the inaugural ballot. The top vote recipients were:
Sandy Koufax (HAR) - 64.9%
Jakie May (VAN/ BUF/ CHA) - 47.7%
Dick Allen (SEA/ LA) - 12.9%
Hippo Vaughn, Phil Niekro, and David Ortiz were dropped from the ballot after failing to reach 1%.
