As you all know, many, if not all OOTP leagues have a Hall of Fame. It's about time we have one of our own. Thus, BreakTheWalls and I will now present the official:
Being that this league began in 1996, we will be starting with the 1995 ballot. Hopefully, we can breeze through the rest of the 90s before being up to date with the current season.
This also means that any real life MLB Hall of Fame player that got inducted between 1939-1994 is already automatically in the BBSBL Hall of Fame. I will get to the list of those nominees at a later time.
For now, here is the 1995 ballot:
- Mike Schmidt (1st Ballot) www.baseball-reference.com/players/s/schmimi01.shtml
- Phil Niekro (3rd Ballot) www.baseball-reference.com/players/n/niekrph01.shtml

- Buddy Bell (1st Ballot) www.baseball-reference.com/players/b/bellbu01.shtml
- Darrell Evans (1st Ballot) www.baseball-reference.com/players/e/evansda01.shtml
- Kent Tekulve (1st Ballot) www.baseball-reference.com/players/t/tekulke01.shtml
- Willie Hernandez (1st Ballot) www.baseball-reference.com/players/h/hernawi01.shtml

- Doyle Alexander (1st Ballot) www.baseball-reference.com/players/a/alexado01.shtml
- Rick Rhoden (1st Ballot) www.baseball-reference.com/players/r/rhoderi01.shtml
Also, Break and I have decided that both Pete Rose and "Shoeless" Joe Jackson are both eligible for election.
Just like the real Hall of Fame, the same rules will be applied for ballots.
- GM's can only vote for a maximum for ten (10) candidates per season.
- Players will only be eligible for 15 years, beginning six (6) years after their retirement.
- 75% of all votes will be necessary for election. No exceptions will be made.
- At least 15 GM's must participate for election to occur. This could go up to 20 in the future.
- As far as team caps go for new Hall of Famers, the hats will most likely be of the same team that represents the given player in real life. In certain cases, debates may occur and if they do, there will be a majority vote.
Voting can begin immediately through the polls.
