Class of 2089: Fielder

The 149th player in this HOF was Miguel Cabrera. The 150th is Miggy's RL teamie, Prince Fielder. That's pretty freakin cool.

Fielder was selected by the Angels with the 10th pick in the 2062 draft.

Fielder was a horse, throughout his career. He played in 20 season and played at least 100 games in each. He played at least 150 games 11 times. THAT is the kind of guy you can build your team around. Several did.

For his career, Fielder posted top tier HOF totals by slugging 753 HR (10th, between Joe Adcock and Frank Robinson) on 2722 hits (t-30th, Tony Perez). He ripped 423 doubles and drew 1240 walks (18th). He also reached base 237 times via the HBP.

Fielder posted a career slash line of 301/397/602 (*/53rd/39th, between Jose Canseco and Willie Stargell).

He collected 2008 career RBI (8th, between Mike Schmidt and Orlando Cepeda) and scored 1766 runs (13th, between Ron Santo and Harmon Killebrew).

In 2070, Fielder hit .322, 39 HR, 104 RBI as he and Harmon Killebrew led the Washington Nationals to the WS crown. There will be more than couple more players from this team in the HOF.

In 2077 he spent a year as a Marlin, and won a WS with them. He is the first player from this team to enter the HOF. There may be others, be Fielder will be the only hitter.

In 2081 he spent 1 year as a Rockie, and got his third WS title. Fielder is the only player from this team in the HOF, and it may remain that way until the end of time (which is in something like 20 years).

In the 5 year stretch between 2065 and 2069, Fielder hit 50 HR each season. He would top the 50 mark, again, in 2074 with a career high 64 HR and a career high 164 RBI.

An 8 time All Star, Fielder won 3 HR titles. He enters the HOF at the age of 45 in his first year of eligibility.
