Al S Shaw earns his way into the HOF as the second first ballot inductee. Though his numbers across the board were not above the Hall average, when his name came up for normal review, his HOFs number was more than sufficient. The only players in the Hall with a higher HOFs number are Speaker and Kauff.

From 1922 to 1942 Shaw compiled a lifetime average of .324 while collecting 2938 hits. Aside from a partial farewell season in 1942, hit hit over .300 in all but one full season.

His Black and Gray Ink numbers are the lowest of anyone inducted, thus far, but there is no doubt of his legitimate entrance. No eligible player has a better career VORP or WAR figure than Shaw.

He played in 11 WS games and produced an OPS over 1.000 in those games, winning 2 titles in two tries. He is a Rookie of the Year winner and 2 time All Star.

--------------

Roberto Clemente, in his first year with Veteran Standard consideration gets in on the Veteran Standard. His Black Ink number was just short of the Hall average, but no matter, he is in.

Clemente was a big miss by the scouts. He was a 6th rd, 101st overal selection. Despite having an OPS+ over 130 in each of his first three seasons, he did not get a chance to play in 100 games until season number 4.

In a career spanning from 1902 to 1924, he collected 2397 hits while batting .323. He enters the Hall as the All-Time leaders in triples with 293.

If there were any thoughts that his career numbers are a bit light to be enshrined, the 5 MVP awards should assuage any doubts of his legitimate entry. He also won 4 WS in 6 tries. He was also the first player to collect a Triple Crown. In 1915 he hit .336 with 14 HRs and 96 RBI. Only one other Triple Crown has been attained, since.

----------

Evan Longoria becomes the first active RL player enshrined. His 327 HRs and 1727 RBI collected from 1921 to 1939 sets s new Hall Standards in those categories.

He batted .289 for his career in which he collected 2979 hits. A ROY, MVP, and WS ring reside in his trophy case. Longoria's Gray Ink and HOFs numbers both exceed the Hall average, and that is how he gets in.
