First off, I would like to publicly apologize to dynaboyj for getting personal in an angry moment on the thread. It was a misunderstanding. I contacted him though personal message and told him I was taking my post down and he was kind enough to return the favor and the thread is now free of that silly drama, which was all my fault. I should have taken my issue to him in private to begin with. Those posts were not removed by the OOTP staff.

Dynaboyj handled himself with the class and dignity of a gentleman even though I had not. Thank you for that, DB.

Babe Ruth sat out the 2011 season. For 2012 he has signed with the Yankees, again. I am attaching the career HR leader board. To have the top 4 place holders the same as in RL is cool. Should Ruth get between 25 and 46 HRs in 2012, the top 4 placeholders will be in the same order ...THAT would be super cool!

3000 hits, 500 HRs, 300 wins, 3000 strikeouts...these are the magic numbers in RL (though this is changing). Here, the magic numbers are 3500 hits, 550 HRs, 350 wins, 3500 strikeouts. All eligible players above these thresholds are in this HOF.

The number of players that reached these plateaus here when compared to the corresponding targets IRL is pretty close to the same.

ADD: Johnny Mize is listed here as playing until 2006. He did not retire until 2007, so he was not eligible for entry until 2013.
