OOTP Developments Forums - View Single Post - The Base Ball Life of Patrick O'Farrell: Hall of Fame Thread

Big Six · 03-15-2005, 01:01 AM

Here are the players who will be on the ballot for the inaugural Hall of Fame class, to be inducted in 1926. I have listed them in two groups: pitchers and position players. In each group, the players are listed alphabetically.

I have eliminated some players who "inherited" most of their statistics from their imports when I began the Pat O'Farrell universe. All stats recorded in 1904 or after were recorded in OOTP play.

Voters: Send your ballot, containing up to 10 players from this list, in a private message to Big Six by Tuesday, March 22. If you would like to publicize your choices and discuss them, please feel free to do so in this forum.

Thanks, and have fun!
