That's a good point. My first image was of a grizzled old-schooler shouting "Who in the blue hell are they to say our yearly votes aren't good enough!" into his typewriter. Your reaction is just as (if not more) likely.
EDIT to add: The more I think about it, I have to agree with you bravos. Guys who get in via "Today's Game Committee" can be inducted but carry a sort of asterisk, something that might please everyone (well, maybe not please, but pacify at least).
