Class of 2046 (1974), Part 2: Brett, Galvin
Posted 03-20-2013 at 09:34 AM by VanillaGorilla
George Brett was selected with the 12th pick of the 2009 draft by the Pittsburgh Pirates. He retired after the 2030 season having logged 21 MLB seasons.
A 6 time All-Star, Brett won 4 GGs at 3B.
Brett never chased .400 in this universe, but he did hit over .300 9 times and collected 200 hits in a season twice.
Brett enters the HOF as the league leader in career doubles, with 786 (RL leader Tris Speaker had 792).
For his career he slashed 294/343/497 (npa OPS+ 128) with 3279 hits (7th), 108 triples (t-5th), 419 HRs (80th), 1827 RBI (11th), 1594 R (18th), and 124 SB thrown in, as well.
In 2013, at the age of 22, Brett hit .308 with 17 HR and drove in 88 as he and fellow HOFer Buck Eweing, led the Pirates to a WS victory. That same year, Brett was suspended for 10 games for failing a drug test. Brett is rated as 'normal' intelligence on his player page, so while the game is set up to give drug suspensions to players with lower intelligence, an average intelligence does not make a player immune from this OOTP pitfall.
While a drug suspension has no impact on how I select HOFers, Brett had a spectacular career, and really should have been on more than 6 AS teams. The career and lack of AS appearances by Brett in them makes me wonder if there is a personality component to AS selections in that after the suspension Brett was classified as "Disliked" in his Popularity trait. All Star appearances give points in the HOFm category, so there is impact on that aspect of Hall entry, if popularity comes into lay for ASG selections.
At the age of 54, Brett gave a tearful induction speech in which he acknowledged his substance abuse problems.
Brett enters by virtue of his HOFm and HOFs numbers being above that of the HOF averages.
Black Ink: 14 (39)
Gray Ink: 106 (159)
HOFm: 172.5 (210)
HOFs: 65 (61)
Gorilla Composite: 3.7 (5.2)
Brett is the 27th RL HOFer to be enshrined, here.

Pud Galvin is the 28th RL HOFer to be inducted here. He is the 33rd player to be inducted into both OOTP HOF. He is the 10th RL HOFer to be inducted into each.
Galvin was selected by the Washington Nationals with the 9th pick in the 2017 draft.
Galvin was 12-18 in his 2018 rookie season for a Nationals squad that finished in 4th place with a 72-90 record. In 235 2/3 IP he struck out a league best 337 men. The 3.40 OOTP ERA he carried for the season equated to a npa ERA+ of 121.
In 2019, he had one of the most amazing seasons a pitcher has had in league history. Pitching for another 4th place nationals squad that finished 79-83, Galvin sported an amazing 22-4 record. His OOTP ERA of 2.03 made for a symmetric npa ERA+ of 203. He struck out 384 batters in 257 IP. All of these were league bests, except for ERA, where he finished second, narrowly missing the pitcher's Triple Crown.
In 2020 he was 21-6, 2.56 (npa ERA+ 166) with 357 K in 245.2 IP.
In his first three seasons, Galvin had achievend legendary status. 1078 strikeouts in 738 1/3 IP will do that.
In his remaining 12 season, he was up and down. 6 seasons he had a npa ERA+ above 100, 6 times he had one below 100.
He retired in 2033 with a career 177-175 W/L record and an OOTP ERA of 3.76 (npa ERA+ 117). He struck out 2822 (46th) and walked 757 in 3108 (88th) career innings.
His 14 career shutouts ties him for 60th place on the All-Time list. Only 5 players who started their careers in 2019, or after, have more shut outs.

Gray Ink: 145 (250)
