Kenny ColeScott,
I don't have a problem with that. However, there is already something similar out there. Check out http://www.baseballthinkfactory.org/files/primer/hom_discussion/the_baseball_hall_of_merits_important_links. The site is pretty heavy on sabermetrics and the discussions are sometimes a little difficult to follow due to all of the formulaic stuff they use. However, the basic story is that they are debating over and retroactively electing players from the majorm, pre-major and negro leagues to their "Hall of Merit" as they become eligible. Players become "eligible" five years after their "retirement" and their eligibility never ends. The "elections" date back to 1898. I found some of the debates over who belongs/doesn't belong and why/why not pretty interesting to read.
