Induction into the Hall of Fame is the ultimate individual accomplishment and reserved for a select few of the elite players who play the game.
New BaseHit leagues
New leagues open the doors to their Hall of Fame and induct their first players after 10 seasons of play.
Established BaseHit leagues
leagues with quite a bit of history, are different. Players can only enter the Hall of Fame
after they retire. If they qualify they will be on the ballot every year for 10 years. If the player is not elected within those 10 years he is no longer eligible (the sim/AI elects the player). In order to qualify for eligibility, hitters and pitchers must meet the following requirements:
Eligiblity Requirements
- Hitters
- Retired
- 2000+ plate appearances
- HOF score of 25.0+
- Pitchers
- Retired
- 1,000+ innings pitched or 250+ games
- HOF score of 25.0+
HOF Score
You can find this by opening the player profile, (clicking on his name). Scroll down, click on “Achievements/Awards”. Scroll down to see the HOF Score and Probability. It will look like this:
The HOF Score is Determined By:
- Statistics
- Milestones (Bonus points for 500 HR’s or 300 Wins, etc.)
- Number of awards the player has won. These include: MVP, CYA, RotY, FotY and GG.
- Years of experience with a team. (If a tie exists, the better statistical seasons are taken into account).
A player's probability of making the Hall of Fame increases towards the end of their career.
Stats Note:
CYA = Cy Young Award
RotY = Rookie of the Year
GG = Gold Glove
AS = All Star
FotY = Fireman of the Year
