With the eligible pool of players for induction limited to existing players previously passed over, all three of these inductees make perfect sense.

Amby McConnell is fifth on the career BA list, sandwiched between Honus Wagner and Eddie Collins...nice company.

McConnell posted a career line of 335/382/415 as he collected 2108 hits from 1919 through 1933.

He won the MVP in 1921 when he collected 260 hits while posting a line of 395/447/464. The 260 hits is 5th season best. Only players named Shoeless Joe and Ty have gotten more in a year.

He won one WS and one GG.

McConnell was a HOF selection by the default settings. He gets in on the Veteran Standard.

Black Ink : 33
Gray Ink : 87
HOFm : 158
HOFs : 44

-----------

Tommy Harper also was selected by the program's default HOF settings. He is also inducted on the Veteran Standard.

Tommy Harper collected 2546 hits in just 15 seasons and batted .301 for his career that spanned from 1919-1933. He collected 200 hits in a season 4 times. He collected 190 5 other times, and one more season he had 189.

Harper won a GG and 3 WS in 3 tries. In 16 WS games he posted a slash line of 348/397/515.

Black: 20 (7)
Gray: 140 (55)
HOFm:126 (19)
HOFs: 52 (17)

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

In 1925 Gavvy Cravath hit 29 HRs to establish what was then the single season record. His 209 career HRs is only bested by one player who did not enter the league after Cravath's 1916 rookie season.

In 14 seasons Gavvy produced a 288/369/463 for a npa OPS+ of 136. He won the 1921 league MVP, like McConnell, when he hit 28 HRs, 211 hits and a stunning line for the era, or any era, of 359/414/613.

Cravath was not inducted by the default settings, but he is the only one of these three that did not need the lowered Veterans Standard to enter because of his Black Ink number which was largely accumulated by his leading the league in HRs for 6 seasons.

Black: 44 (46)
Gray: 176 (110)
HOFm: 93.5 (50)
HOFs : 35 (23)
