The American League has done away with the DH starting in 2069! Maybe it will happen IRL before then....

I have been following the Orioles, but letting the AI make all of the moves. I stopped playing out games because of the relief pitcher bug that Dutch Alexander found, and Marcus says is fixed in v 14.

The change came with no notice, so now, starting in Center Field for the Orioles....Pedro Guerrero!!! Gotta love it. Lou Gehrig isn't getting moved from first base anytime soon......

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

Both entrants are RL HOFers (47th and 48th). Both entrants were inducted in the other HOF (51st and 52nd). This makes them the 20th and 21st RL HOFers to be inducted into both converted tractor sheds.

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

Hal Newhouser was drafted by the Memphis Intrepid in the 2047 draft following their inaugural season. He was the second player chosen in the draft.

His rookie season he posted a 13-13 record for a 66 win team. He only won 8 games in each of his next 2 seasons vs double digit losses. Memphis didn't win 70 games either of these years.

Memphis got a little bit better, but Newhouser came into his own. Stll a sub .500 club, Hewhouser posted 16-4 and 16-7 records for Memphis over the next 2 seasons. Striking out a career high 313 men in 228 innings of work in his free agent year of 2052, Newhouser took the opportunity to take a large series of checks from a contending Mets team.

In 2053, Newhouser took the Mets to the play-offs. He would see the post season with them in each of the next 4 years. Finding run support, finally, Newhouser brought his new home team 22 wins and only was tagged with 3 defeats. Newhouser struck out 312 men, that campaign, in 230 2/3 IP, while walking a mere 63. His OOTP ERA of 2.15 was good for Cy Young Award honors and a 197 npa ERA+.

More importantly, Newhouser led the Mets to a WS win. He is the first player from this squad to be inducted into the HOF.

In 2054, Newhouser surpassed his previous year's performance. He only won 14 games, but he was only hit with 4 losses in 31 starts. His OOTP ERA of 167 gave him a 257 npa ERA+. The CYA voters chose to give the trophy to a 20 game winner who's 58.3 VORP was dwarfed by Newhouser's 84.0.

Newhouser called it quits with 15 seasons under his belt in 2062. He enters the HOF 73rd on the career win list. His career record of 201-137 makes for a 0.595 win % (71st, 1 slot behind John Ewing). He struck out 3429 batters (31st, 14 behind Curt Schilling) in 3148 2/3 IP. His 3.26 career OOTP ERA translates into a dominant 141 npa ERA+.

Hi 9.801 K/9 ratio is 42 nd best and 0.001 behind Charlie Ferguson.

An 8 time All Star, Newhouser enters the HOF with Black and Gray Ink numbers exceeding the current Hall averages.

Black Ink: 35 (47)
Gray Ink: 183 (180)
HOFm: 163.7 (140)
HOFs: 42 (34)

Gorilla Composite: 3.6 (3.5)

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

Tris Speaker was selected by the Athletics with the 3rd pick in the 2037 draft. He played through the 2061 season, but did not retire until January of 2063, hoping for an opportunity to reach 3500 hits that never came.

Speaker enters the HOF 5th on the All Time hit list, between Rusty Staub and Albet Pujols. He sported a career slash line of 341/426/523 (5th/4th/*) for a studly npa OPS+ of 156 which compares to his RL OPS+ of 157.

An 11 time All-Star, Speaker won 6 GGs, 3 in center field and 3 in right field(I like that OOTP breaks down the OF positions).

He enters the HOF as the All Time leader in doubles with 814. Actually, he is tied for the All-Time lead. That player with whom he is tied is a candidate awaits induction. The Selection Committee seems to be holding some personal issues against him.

Speaker, on the other hand, enters as a first ballotter in his first year of eligibility. He hit 304 HRs, stole 573 bases (26th) and scored 1858 times (12th, between Staub and Norm Cash). He also drove in 1638 runs (48th, 6 ahead of Boog Powell).

In 2043 he had his first of six 200 hit seasons. Slashing 363/443/598 (npa OPS+ 173), Speaker took home his one career MVP Award.

Leaving Oakland for Jacksonville, and then from Jacksonville to the Bronx, Speaker, as if the subject of a John Denver song, left the Apple for a place he'd never been before, Denver, Colorado.

2055 was his first year as a Rockie. At the age of 34 he had his 6th 200 hit season and played a key(stone?) role in bringing the WS trophy to the Denver faithful. He is the first player from this team to be inducted into the HOF.

Tris Speaker enters the HOF with the highest HOFs score of any inductee.

Black Ink: 45 (34)
Gray Ink: 187 (346)
HOFm: 329 (248)
HOFs: 85 (73)

Gorilla Composite: 6.9 (6.7)
