HOF Issue

This situation occurs when two (or more) independent leagues, each of which with its own Hall of Fame. It appears that if a player's career stats (across all leagues) meet the requirements for induction into the HOF of the last league in which he played, then he will be inducted into that HOF. This rule isn't really problematic, although I personally think the player should be inducted into the HOF of the league in which he played most of his career.

However, the problem is that the player's stats that display on the HOF page are only those for the league. I have set up a series of Independent minors, and majors leaguers sometimes play out their last years in lower minor leagues. I have a number of players in minor league HOFs that show 52 games played or some such thing.

I think there is a disconnect somewhere. Either:

1. Only the career stats in a particular league should be used to determine whether a player makes it into that league's HOF (and all leagues should be checked at retirement, not just the last league played in), OR

2. A player's career stats (across all leagues) should display on the HOF page for a league, regardless of in what league they were achieved.
