Well I did it the hard way and modified the xml to replace the tag for year to the specific year the player was inducted. Then created the card for each player in that year. Went back to the XML and changed it to the next year, updated the cards for Hall of Famers for that year, and so on. When I was finished I changed the XML to having the tag for the year so future hall of famers should work fine.
I also modified the XML set up the card the way I preferred. Like putting the name of the team under the player's name, re-adding the league and team logos at the bottom and including the player's position at the bottom.
I also modified the picture files to set the transparencies and remove the card like rectangle around the plaque so it looks like a plaque more than a baseball card.
Here's the template, a pic of what it looks like when generated and the XML file.
