Thanks, I haven't but will check it out. After the brainstorming dust settles, I'll present some options to be debated. Another method would be to do the voting as close to the HOF's current way as possible, but probably allowing for a larger initial crop than in 1933.

It's interesting that you would throw out the steroid issue in a Net 54 version of the HOF, which is the crux of what we've been debating here.
