Most of the time I just let the AI induct all HOFers. I leave the "automatic" values alone and let em go. But recently I have finished simming my 23rd season (simming MY history as a player before I "get" a management position) and I noticed one guy who, by my standards, should be in the HOF. I feel a bit strange overriding the induction process, so I will leave it up to you guys (and gals). If after a period of time he gets 70% approval, he'll be in. Here he is, Ladies and Gentlemen, EDWIN "bugs" JOSE.
Edwin "Bugs" Jose - LF
Drafted by Texas with the #1 pick in the draft. Throughout his 17 year career, all of which were spent with Texas (very nice!), Bugs was a 9 time allstar, 8 time MVP and a 2 time Gold Glove winner. He also won 3 World Championships in Texas.
Career Numbers:
Avg. - .291
Hits - 2521(#6 alltime)
HRs - 497 (#2)
RBI - 1734 (#1)
OBP - .338
SLG - .563
Runs - 1487 (#6)
2B - 729 (#1)
SB - 251 (#20)
He led the league in:
HRs 4x, RBIs 7x, Hits 2x, Runs 4x, 2B 3x, OBP 4x and SLG 5x
He holds the AL record for RBI (161) and 2B (65) as well as the Tex record for hits (198)
The only notes on his career are an ACL injury (season) after 51 games and a strike shortened season (save issues!) after 73 games.
I'm interested what you all think.
