Default Hall of Fame Level System ?

Posted By: Mike

There has been I think I read between 16,000-17,000 major leaguers over the years. If 1% make the Hall of Fame , that would be about 160-170 players. Currently there are 199 former players in the Hall of Fame. So if about 30-40 players were eliminated it would be about right.

I really believe the Hall of Fame should be set up on a level system : Platinum, Gold, Silver and Bronze levels. Therefore a Cobb, Ruth, Wagner, Johnson , Mays etc would not be on the same level as Rizzuto, Sutter, Goosage etc. Maybe they should be the 1% that is included in the Hall of Fame but at the Bronze level. Still an honor but not the Platinum level.

That's a fun theory, although it kinda reminds me of choosing what octane content I want in my petroleum! "Fill her up with Yaztrzemski, please, and check the oil!".

Interesting, Mike, but what makes you think there will be any less controversy with a tiered system? There'll still be fierce debates about who belongs where, and who gets in in the first place.

The system already exists, insofar as the Baseball Writers elect the highest class and the Veteran's Committee elect the everyday, ordinary immortals.
