From the start of the league through the 1936 season I had dozens (mostly pitchers) that were given HOF status by the default settings. As the league progresses, any player that is dubbed Hall-worthy by these settings will be given instant consideration and will be inducted as a 'first ballot' selection if their combined Black/Gray ink number (factored to equalize for hitters and pitchers) is greater than the average B/G number for those already enshrined AND if their HofM/HoFS combined fctor is also greater than those currently enshrined.

I took all the players that had been inducted by the program and did a random sort and went one by one through them in that order tabulating BG and Hof M/S. When I got a player that had both numbers above the Hall average, he was added. For 1938 these players' numbers will be added to the original class and create a new standard for the upcoming class.

The first player that met the criteria was Nap Lajoie. Lajoie retired second in career hits to Tris Speaker with 3542. Lajoie was the 1902 Rookie of the year. When he retired in 1922 he had won 13 GGs at second base and won 4 MVP awards. He was on the WS winning team 3 times and at the time of his enshrinement was the career leader in singles with 2855.

Black and Gray : 90 (76) and 381 (266)
HOF Mon and Stand : 335 (262) and 56 (66)

ADD: Real life parallel, Lajoie enters HOF in 1937.
-------------------------------

Dan Brouthers played from 1882 to 1903. He appeared in 9 World Series, winning 6 times. He collected 2581 hits and was selected to 11 All-Star teams. Like Lajoie, he won 4 MVP awards, to go along with 3 GGs.

Black and Gray : 79 (79) and 281 (263)

HoF Mon and Stand : 228.5 (162) and 56 (64)
