Have done some dry runs along these lines and I think I have what I want.

I started a Random Debut League in 1879 and added AAA for team depth in 1910 and no fictional players.

I simmed through the 1935 season as a spectator only. Any player that received a Gold Glove, ROY, CY/MVP, or an AS appearance was logged into an Excel sheet.

Any player that was automatically inducted into the HOF I removed, but made a note in the spread sheet that the program had labeled them as a HOFer.

Prior to the 1936 season I put in the initial class of the HOF, just as in real life.

There were 3 hitters and two pitchers in the first real class, and that is what I put in. I am enshrining hitters and pitchers in the same numbers as they were put into the real Hall. I put in 2 hitters and one pitcher in 1937, prior to the season.

I am adhering to the retirement length requirements as they were in place in real life except for the fact that I am not allowing active players entry even though they were allowed entry, originally (though no active player ever was).

10 years of league service and a player is eligible

For the first class I decided prior to starting the league that the eligible hitters with the most career hits and the most career home runs would get in with the first class. For pitchers, the ones with the most wins and strikeouts would get in.

After the first class entered, I tabulated their black ink and gray ink stats. Also, I tabulated their numbers for HOF Monitor and HOF standards as descirbed on BBRef.

It is with the numbers from the first class that the standards for entry for subsequent classes will be based. As others enter, the standards will change as the numbers change.

Players who have been retired for 20 years or more will have lower threshold to enter than those that are more recently retired.

I will spare describing in nuts and bolts detail how this is being done, but my thought is that no matter what settings for the game are in use, by the time 2012 rolls around I should have ave black/gray ink numbers that are close to the averages of the real players in the real Hall. I also think I should have a HOF Monitor average close to 100 and a HOF standard average close to 50.

I am also interested in seeing how the positional distribution of the members mirrors real life.

I figured I would throw the first few classes on the historical forum and then move them to a blog, if that would be the more appropriate place to post such things.
