One of my favorite things on BBF is run a project series. I've had some decent ones and some bad ones. I'm willing to give this a try because I have no problem with people politely declining.
Some players do not deserve HoF enshrinement. They just weren't good enough. At the same time, they played at a level deserving partial recognition, similar to the status of being a multiple all-star or entering a team's HoF.
Who is a Gooder (someone belonging in the Hall of Very Good)? First, we will not induct nonplayers. Second, only players of a major league (this excludes the National Association) are eligible. We have a hard enough time dealing with Negro Leaguers as is, no need to get complicated. With these in mind, a Gooder is:
1. a player who IS NOT currently in the Hall of Fame
2. a player who is eligible for the Hall of Fame (ten seasons played and retired 2007 or before. Also can't be banned). This includes players who are on the ballot and are likely HoFers. We will adjust if they are elected.
Each round is broken down according to last name. There are eight rounds: A-C, D-F, G-J, K-M, N-P, Q-R, S-U, W-Z. Voters will submit ballots of 20-35 players. Anyone they believe is worthy of the actual HoF must be noted. Should such players receive 75% of HoF support, they will be omitted. Players receiving at least 75% of votes to be a Gooder will be inducted to BBF Hall of Very Good. The minimum amount of inductees per round is 20, whereas the max is 25. Should we go over/under these boundaries, then the next possible players are selected, either those with the most support or those nearest to 75%. We also go down the line after omissions (if 22 are inducted but one is believed to be a HoFer, we go to the next guy). It isn't the end of the world if we go over/under. Based on these guidelines the HoVG should hold somewhere between 160-200 players.
Please post any player (including any you believe are HoF worthy) who belongs in the HOVG with last names A-C. If a you believe a player is worthy of the HoF, please indicate so in an OBVIOUS manner. You can put 5 asterisks or the label (HoF) after their name. Whatever works.
Below are players with last names A-C and a WAR within the top 1000 players. This is merely to jog your memory. It isn't definitive; you're more than welcome to nominate another player. Remember you ballot MUST have anywhere from 20-35 players (this includes your HoF choices). If you can, try to keep it alphabetical
