I am looking forward to OOTP 14. In v 14, I will be using a distribution algorithm of player for the HOF that is not tied to corresponding years, as I have been. The pitcher/hitter ration will have the same expected ratio, but there will be a random element that will cause some deviation. Also, I came up with a method to factor in First Ballot selections within the algorithm's framework. So, no more will there be a player getting in on the First Ballot standard who is not in his first year of eligibility. There will be players who do not get a FBS who will get in on their First Ballot, just as it has been happening. Larry Andersen is the most recent example, here.

I am geeked about this, however, I will complete this league's HOF before starting in on 14. I am completing this one, in large part, because I want to see who manages to get in to all three HOF.

-------------------------------

Buddy Bell becomes the 39th player to be inducted into both OOTP HOF.

Bell was selected by the Blue Jays with the 12th overall pick in 2015. Famous for his RL glove work, Buddy won 7 GGs at 3B, here. He also appeared in 2 AS games.

When Bell retired, following the 2037 season, he was the All Time leader in G and AB (3045 and 11636). He enters the HOF 4th and 3rd, respectively, in those categories.

Bell collected 3256 hits in his career(10th, 6 ahead of Rod Carew). 642 of them were doubles (15th, 2 behind Carew and 3 ahead of Al Oliver)and 380 were HRs. Bell scored 1574 runs (28th, 2 ahead of Duke Snider) and drove in 1544 (50th). He retired with a career slash line of 280/338/442 for a npa OPS+ of 113 (compare to RL OPS+ of 109).

Bell's best season came in 2025 when he had career highs in hits (205), HRs (34), and runs (117). He had career highs in all slash stats as he put together a 321/375/545 campaign that netted him a npa OPS+ of 150.

Bell left Toronto for Houston, as a Free Agent. He then took a 3 year offer from Jacksonville, only to be traded to Oakland in June of his first season with the Tribunes. He played out that contract in Oakland.

His production had dropped off in Oakland, and he wound up taking a 1 year $850,000 from the fledgling Indianapolis Sea Gulls for the 2033 season. They were in their 5th year of existence. Buddy put together a solid season, and gave veteran presence to the Gulls and he helped carry them to WS victory. Buddy hit .400 that post season and had an OPS of 1.271.

Bell is the first player from that squad to be inducted into the HOF. He will not be the last.

Bell enters, at the age of 56, by virtue of his HOFs number being above the Hall average.

Black Ink: 7 (2)
Gray Ink: 87 (33)
HOFm: 129.5 (67)
HOFs: 55 (30)

Gorilla Composite: 2.8 (1.4)

-------------------------------

Stan Coveleski is the 32nd RL HOFer to be enshrined in the latest refurbished tractor shed. He had a bit of a wait. 54 years after his 1999 retirement, Coveleski gave his acceptance speech at the age of 91.

Taken by the Dodgers with the 17th selection overall in the 1982 draft, Covaleski wound up being named to 6 AS teams and also won a GG. Coveleski twice won 20 games in a season, and twice won the Cy Young Award, but neither 20 game win season land him CYA hardware. One of those seasons he won 23.

Not a big K guy, Coveleski struck out 2105 men in 3677 1/3 IP. He walked 1085 in his career.

His career record is 227-173 and an OOTP ERA of 3.37 (npa ERA+ 126).

He pitched in 2 post seasons, 1 WS, but no rings were to be his.

Coveleski enters with a Gray Ink total higher than the HOF average. His sim distribution compared to RL across the metrics in use here is uncanny.

Black Ink: 28 (22)
Gray Ink: 188 (193)
HOFm: 101.4 (109)
HOFs: 38 (38)

Gorilla Composite: 3.0
