The 1957 HoF class:

Gene Tenace C
James Burke RHSP
Jose Canseco RF

Tenace is the best catcher I've seen yet, and that's saying something because Johnny Bench has already come through this league. I posted Tenace's numbers above in the thread, and he just edges out Bench for me. Burke is in my all-time rotation so far with Pedro J Martinez, Steve Carlton, Bret Saberhagen, and Dazzy Vance, so those two were no doubters.

Canseco is more of a floor HoFer to me. There are ceiling HoFers and floor HoFers, and in between the two there are the average HoFers. He's definitely towards the bottom of the Hall, but a HoFer is still a HoFer. He put up a .267/.347/.471/.818 slash line, good for an OPS+ of 129 and a wRC+ of 128, with 1433 R, 2455 H, 491 HR, 1556 RBI, 1073 BB, 2156 K, 267 SB, 1 MVP, 3 GG, 9 ASG, 5 SS, 2 WS, and 1 LCS MVP. He was (very surprisingly given his infamous RL follies) a slightly above average defender, both in RF and in LF. He also stole 267 bases, so he knew a little something about baserunning.

This brings my HoF to 65 total players. There have been 56 draft classes of 82 players each, so that's 4,592 players plus the 720 (I added 16 Spritze guys to bring it up to 45 rounds for the Inaugural Draft), which is 5,312 players that have been drafted into this league. 65 players out of 5,312 means that 1.22% of all drafted players have made it to the HoF. The RL percentage is about 1.3% of players that have ever played in the show are HoFers, so that's pretty good. Not every drafted player plays in the show though. 3,994 players out of the 5,312 have suited up in the big leagues, which means that of players that have actually made it, 1.63% have gone on to become HoFers. Not bad all around.
