Johnny Mize was the final inductee in the previous HOF, getting in on his first ballot before the world came to an end. Here, he gave himself a bit of breathing room. He does not get in on the FBS, or in his first year of eligibility, but he does become the 34th RL HOFer inducted, here. He is the 40th player to be inducted into this Hall and the previous one. He is the 13th RL HOFer to be inducted into both OOTP HOF.

Mize was drafted 12th overall in 2020 by the White Sox. He did not sign with them and was drafted 30th overall in 2011 by the Dodgers, with whom he signed.

Mize played with the Dodgers through the 2036 season. He holds Dodger club records for career OBP (.381), OPS (.955), VORP (703.2), runs (1057), TB (3505), HR (423), and RBI (1174). Mize spent 2 seasons each with the Pirates, Angels, and Columbus Ions before retiring in 2042.

Mize was named to 6 AS teams and won 3 GGs. Two of them were in RF and 1 was at 1B.

For his career he collected 2392 hits (86th), 546 of which were HRs (38th, 1 more than Adam Dunn, 2 behind Joey Votto). He drove in 1555 runs (48th, 2 ahead of Bill Melton, 5 behind Keith Hernandez) and scored 1362 (85th, 1 behind Vic Saier). He also hit 470 doubles ( 3-way t for 82nd, 1 more than Gavvy Cravath) and had a career slash line of 295/378/563 for a npa OPS+ of 156 (compare to RL OPS+ 158).

Mize ranks 36th All Time in slg% and 37th in OPS.

In 2025 he hit 35 HRs in 127 games while slashing 336/432/657 for a npa OPS+ of 198, and an MVP.

Mize appeared in 6 post seasons, but never in a WS.

Mize enters the HOF with a HOFs number above the Hall average.

George Perring was selected by the Mariners with the 16th pick in the 1998 draft. He retired in 2021, but saw his last big league action in 2018. He wanted to stick around for a crack at 3000 hits, but he ended up with 2898 (20th). No eligible player has more career hits than Perring. Interestingly, there is no player with more hits than Perring who does not have 3000.

When Perring retired, his 652 were the most in league history. As he enters the Hall, at the age of 78, he is tied for 12th on the All Time doubles list.

Perring was a bubble inductee, but came up just short the times he was previously screened. In 2055, he gets in on the Veteran Standard.

Perring went to 5 post seasons. In 2007 he hit .343 in the post season, but his Phillies lost in 6 to the Indians.

2007 was perhaps his finest season. He hit a career high average of .324 and slugged a career high .475 posting career bests in hits (219) and HRs (17).

For his career, Perring slashed 268/338/392 for a npa OPS+ of 97. He stole 143 bases and scored 1473 times (51st) and hit 186 HRs.

What these numbers do not show is that Perring was an Iron Man. From 2004-2009 he played in each and every one of his team's games. 8 times he led the league in games played.

With only 1 All Star game on his resume, Perring is not the shooting star entry we have seen so often, here. But half of life is showing up. In this high injury simulation environment, showing up means something. And the writers thought he was a good guy.....

Dan Casey was "mighty", all right. Big on the strikeout, he fanned 3988 batters (7th) in his career. Mighty Casey also struck out a lot, himself, so to speak...Casey enters the HOF as the losingest pitcher in league history with 235 defeats.

He did win 246 games, 16th most in league history.

Casey was selected with the 12th overall pick in the 2022 draft by the Rockies.

Having left the Rockies for a year contract the year before, Casey signed a 4 year deal with the Braves prior to the 2031 season. He made the Atlanta GM look brilliant as he posted an 18-5 mark in the regular season. Not only were the 18 wins a career high, the 5 losses were the fewest he ever had in his career. His OOTP ERA of 2.51 translated to career best npa ERA+ of 168 and earned him Cy Young honors.

Casey posted a career OOTP ERA of 4.04 for a npa ERA+ of 106.

His 4838 2/3 IP is 6th most in league history. All pitchers with more (Walter Johnson, Cain, Carlton, Haren, Mullane) are already in the HOF.

Casey enters by virtue of his Gray Ink number being above the Hall average.

Casey is the 41st player to be inducted into both OOTP HOF.
