"The decision has now been made, but damonrusst's reply made me change my mind, too. I didn't realize the league was so new when this discussion started, and knowing that now, my decision would be:
The Hall doesn't accept its first member until the league is thirty years old. By that time there would hopefully be enough history to be able to have a little perspective.
He doesn't get in on a vote of the baseball writers, due to not having enough time in to qualify.
Thirty years after he retires, he does get inducted as a 'pioneer of the game' by the much-maligned Veterans' Committee."
I hear what you're saying here but even though I started the sim in 1929, he's still up against the previous however many years of history back to the dawn of baseball time. And he's still #6 in HR etc. VORP is the only stat that's only measured for the ten years the league existed that just so happened to correspond to the ten years of his career.
