2. Be retired within the past 5 seasons.
3. Not currently a member of the Hall of Fame.
Nominations:
1. Elgible players can be nominated by any active FRL manager or team for consideration. (Although it is recommended that the player you nominate played for you team at some point.)
2. Nominations are to be posted in a single thread each season.
3. Each manager who nominates a player will as part of their nomination provide a link to the player card and write up the reasons for the nomination.

2. The thread will list all nominated players and ask for managers to vote.
3. Voting for nominated players is to completed by August 31 of each season.

So I brought this up 4 seasons ago and saw little of no support at that time. But, now that most of our original teams are gone perhaps it is time to start working on a hall of fame.Possible rules.

I think this is fine. I know Clyde Rosar (an original Storm, also played with StL for several seasons) is on the brink of retirement, and as a 2-time MVP and multi-time All-Star I would like to see him get some kind of recognition as he was an anchor in my lineup for many seasons, and helped bring the Storm back to winning ways this past season.

Good rules. Who volunteers to oversee the Hall -- posting the thread, counting the votes, maintaining and posting the list?
thindad
But, I think we should approve these rules by vote first. Each manager who agrees with these rules should post their acceptance of them. Once a majority has agreed than we can consider them official. Or if some changes are made we can approve the mofified rules by vote.
For the Record The Detroit Wheels votes to accept the proposed rules for the FRL hall of fame.

BTW. The comish should be the one to appoint a manager to take care of the hall of fame. And to change that manager when he sees fit.

The proposed rules look good to me. Baltimore gives this a thumbs-up.

As said before....looks good to me as well. Any other volunteers to manage the hall besides thindad? Or put another way, anybody object to thindad being the first manager of the hall?

I have no objections, especially seeing as how it was he that took the time to come up with all of the standards and rules and procedures. He is also a founding owner so he has been around from the beginning, which I think is an advantage to managing the Hall as opposed to the managers that took over teams for the second term (no offense).

Wiseguys approve the rules and have no objections to thindad running it.

I'd like to add something to the rules, actually. I'd like to see a limit on the amount of nominees each manager can make in a given season...I just think it's a waste of time to be able to nominate literally an entire team per manager per season.

I agree with thindad running the HOF, but I can think of one rule change and that would be for older players that were drafted in 1950 and didn't have a 10 year career, because of the age that they were drafted at in the intial season. An example would be a pitcher who pitched for my 69ers, Ray Hinchliffe.... He pitched for 8 years, won 3 Cy Young awards, had a 122-45 record and a lifetime era of 2.49.....He was the dominite pitcher in the early years of the league and I don't think that there is any way that he should be left out of the HOF.....I am sure that there are other players that have a similar situaction......[Edited on 5-28-2008 by Apps2]

Okay, so two possible amendments to the rules.....1) The 10 year career minimum is waived for players that were in the league in its inaugural year; and 2) Owners can nominate no more than three players each season (or four or five, which one?). I would suggest limiting it to three. I'm okay with both of these amendments. How about you all?

I am ok with the modified rules so that makes 3 approvals for the modified rules.
I would ask for nominations only after we get enough votes to approve our Hall of Fame rules.

Sorry for the delay, guys... stepped out of town and had limited Internet access. I vote Yes on the modified rules!

May I take this time to say that HOF's are not of much interest to me personally. I'll attempt to avoid taking any joy away from anyone else who is gung ho about these, but I seldom vote, and I am unlikely to nominate any players, either.
I'll fit in the best I can.
