Cy Young- Breaking my rules here a little. Cy only pitched 3 years in the Replay League, as he retired in 1903 at age 36. In real life, he pitched until 1911. He still did plenty to make the HOF in the Replay League, but his win total was "only" 343 compared to his real life 511. In his final season, he won 20 games with a 3.10 ERA, so he still seemed to have plenty in the tank. Not sure what caused his decision to retire.
