Idea for HOF calculating

I have an idea for the calculation of Hall of Fame inductees:

It's based on the Gray Ink index (source: baseballreference.com):

"Gray-Ink Test

Essentially... counts appearances in the top ten of the league. For each appearance the values are below. As with the Black Ink, this method penalizes more recent players as they have 14-16 teams per league, while the older players had just 8. To get a point you must be in the top 10 in the league in that category.

Batting Statistics

Four Points for home runs, runs batted in or batting average
Three Points for runs scored, hits or slugging percentage
Two Points for doubles, walks or stolen bases
One Point for games, at bats or triples

Pitching Statistics

Four Points for wins, earned run average or strikeouts
Three Points for innings pitched, win-loss percentage or saves
Two Points for complete games, lowest walks per 9 innings or lowest hits per 9 innings
One Point for appearances, starts or shutouts"

One forum user proposed 2 journalists by every team of the league/tournament. I added the feature "one moderate baseball fan and one team fanatic per team".

The "moderate BB fan" assigns every point to the players of your league. The "team fanatic" assigns the same points plus x2 multipliers per season for every player that plays/played for his/her team.

Improvements here...
