I love Gorman Thomas. It is very cool that he gets in here. Crashing into an OF wall of corn stalks won't hurt him, a bit.

Stormin' Gorman was the 19th overall selection by the Jacksonville Sonics (Dodgers) in the 2033 draft.

Twice an All-Star, Thomas hit 50 HR in his career three times. He retired in 2051, but had not played in the ML since 2049, with 461 HR (69th) in 5406 career AB. He collected 1202 RBI in 15 seasons (he did not play in 2048) and scored 1016 runs.

Of course, GT K'ed. 1548 strikeouts in 1457 games. That is just part of his package. 251/343/558 was his career slash line. This was good for a 137 npa OPS+.

In 1940 he won the MVP by batting .303 with 55 HR and 138 RBI, all career highs for 100 games played in a season. He slugged .751 and got on base at a .405 clip to post a npa OPS+ of 208.

Thomas played in 7 post season, belting 14 HR in 37 games, but never made it to a WS.

Thomas enters the HOF at the age of 58 with one OF GG to his credit.
