My Philosophy on the HOF
It is a museum there to tell the story of the history of the game. Therefore I am for inclusion over exclusion and would induct a fairly decent number of players. The best of the best should be recognized with some sort of room within the room status. Maybe a top 100 or 250 or something all-time and when someone is added to that group one is removed to the regular hall of fame. The types I would include in the general population would be the remaining best of the best, as well as compilers those very good/good for a rather long time, those with great stories, as well as those with a shorter but rather brilliant career, as well as those who helped change the game. I would also include Managers, Executives and in a very rare instance Umpires.
