I think the pitchers have to be grouped separately. Their inner circle would be Young, Johnson and Mathewson.
I struggle with the idea that just 25% of the inner circle HOF have played in the last 85+ years. Major league baseball is 146 years old but 75% of the best players played their entire careers in the first 40% of its lifetime? And just one player in the inner circle or next group debuted in the last 65+ years?
