What's In A Hall of Fame Name, A Rose by Any Other, Well, Maybe Not

I'm sure you noticed as I did that this year was the second in a row in which a Smith was enshrined in Cooperstown. 2001 saw the inclusion of Kansas City Monarch great, pitcher Hilton Smith, and this year Ozzie "The Wizard of Oz" Smith has been immortalized in the Hall. The odd thing is that in the 65 years of Cooperstown history prior to 2001, there was a grand total of zero Smiths inducted. That's out of 139 major-leaguers with the surname (plus one Smyth and a Smythe). And the Hall is still awaiting its first Jones inductee (even though there have been 88 major-leaguers named Jones).

According to Lycos here are the most common last names in the U.S. from the 1990 census with their frequencies. I have added the number of Hall of Famers and their first names to the list (Note that there are 254 Hall of Famers so far):
