Should note that
Mantle, Mays, and Aaron are missing seasons prior to 1955. Looking at their wOBA it would lengthen the end of Mantle’s decline and it actually misses Mays highest season wOBA in ’54.
Could you give us
the data for average HOF WAR? so we can do our own charts?
Agreed.
I’d like to be able to know what exactly constitutes the average HOF player in terms of WAR.

You can either
use the data that Sky linked below or just plot a line with WAR = 8 – 0.4*Season. You’ll miss the slight curve at the top but its not like the data includes all HOF anyway.
Needs a line for Mike Jacobs

It would be nice to see WAR by year in chronological order too. It seems like that chart might be a little unkind to Pujols in that a disproportionately large part of his career is his early seasons that are probably his worst.
Wisconsin: Famous for dairy, Ryan Rohlinger and not much else.
Without going back
and coping the data again, I can’t do that since when I sorted their WAR I removed the years.
Mays and Aaron must have been pretty damn awesome.

Willie Mays is a guy I wish I could have followed during his career.
And maybe it’s just my own perspective, but he doesn’t get quite the publicity he deserves, even today. He might be the best baseball player ever, and probably is the best since retrosheet’s available, if you discount Bonds.
Mays had some seasons at +60 runs above average offensively with +10 to +20 fielding in center field. Jeesh.

but we need to remember to account for Matt Stairs' Mexican League/Japan years

Yup...
I have always thought of Mays as the best player of all time. I think there is an unfair thought that he declined quickly, truth is though that even in decline he was a monster.

You're getting sick of people talking about how good Pujols is, aren't you?
