There have been a lot of Jacksons that have played MLB. Danny, Roy Lee, Bo, Shoeless Joe....but there is one, and only one, Reginald Martinez Jackson.

Selected by the Braves with the 4 th overall pick in 2029, a 20 year-old Reggie blasted 51 HRs, drove in 130, drew what would be a career high 102 walks, scored a career high 12 runs, and slashed 316/428/649 for a npa OPS+ of 193 and Rookie of the Year honors.

Jackson hit at over 50 HRs in each of his first 6 season. He lost most of his 7th and 8th seasons to injuries. In his 7th full season, hit 59 HRs.

3 times he led the league in HRs, including MVP seasons in 2032 and 2034.

2034 was probably his finest season. He posted career highs in all slash stats (334/442/740) as he posted a career high npa OPS+ of 228. He hit 53 HRs that year. He hit 60 HRs in 2031, but did not lead the league, that season.

Jackson enters the Hall with the 3rd most HRs in league history, 743. All of the top 5 players are now in the HOF (McCovey, Pujols, Jackson, McGwire, Norm Cash). 2 others have reached 700, but have yet to become eligible.

Jackson's career .6114 slg% rankd 5th All Time. He ranks 7th on the career OPS list. His career slash line of 286/385/611 gives him an elite nap OPS+ of 167.

Jackson cracked 2351 hits (95th) and drove in 1839 career RBI (13th, sandwiched between Ernie Banks and George Brett). He scored 1629 times (17th, sandwiched between Keith Hernandez and Carl Yastrzemski). The RL All Time strikeout leader, he fanned 2175 times, here, 15th most. His 1218 BBs place him 5th on that list. Jackson also stole 150 career bases.

Mr October appeared in 6 post seasons. He hit 11 HRs in 31 post season games, but never made it to a World Series.

An 8 time All Star and twice a GG winner, Reggie Jackson enters on the First Ballot Standard in his first year of eligibility. Reggie is the 33rd RL HOFer to be inducted, here.

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

The Penguin joins the shrine in the converted tractor shed by virtue of hitting the same number of home runs as Babe Ruth, 499 (t-50th).

Cey's career is notable in that he was the starting third baseman for the St Louis Cardinal teams of 2027-2029 that won back-to-back-to-back World Series. Cey joines the other half of that left side of the infield, Troy Tulowitski, in the HOF. Walter Johnson and George Sisler were also members on some, but not all, of those teams.

A 6 time All Star, Cey won 4 straignt GGs at 3B from 2028-2031. He added another in 2034.

Cey collected 2321 career hits and drove in 1517 runs (56th). Not known for possessing any speed, he never scored 100 runs in a season, but did manage to cross the plate 1287 times (96th).

Cey had a career slash line of 262/345/478 for a career npa OPS+ of 125 (compare to RL 261/354/445, OPS+ 121).

Cey was selected by the Cardinals with the 6th pick in the 2024 draft. He last played in the ML in 2043, but did not retire until after the 2044 season, not given the opportnity to hit HR number 500.

Ron Cey enters the HOF by virtue of his HOFs number being above the Hall average.

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

Chipper Jones was taken by the Pirates with the third pick in the 2025 draft.

In 2026 he batted .324 with 29 HRs in 126 games and was awarded the Rookie of the Year trophy.

Jones battled injuries during most of his 21 ML seasons. He still managed to post 2502 career hits (60th), 459 HRs (74th, 3 behind Steve Garvey), 1453 RBI (70th) and score 1368 times (78th, 3 behind Clyde Milan and Robin Ventura, 2 ahead of Mike Piazza). A career slash line of 275/359/486 gives him a npa OPS+ of 130.

A 6 time All Star, Jones played in 2 post seasons, but never made a WS appearance.

Jones enters with a HOFs number above the Hall average.

Black Ink: 1 (4)
Gray Ink: 49 (107)
HOFm: 79.5 (180)
