For the 2059 (1987) class I had 4 hitters get software inductions and, therefore, eligible for First Ballot Screenings. Tim Jordan was the first to get screened, and he got in. There was only one hitter that entered in 1987, so the rest had to wait. For this year I got another hitter that was a software inductee. Eddie Collins was left over from the previous year, he got the first screening, and got in, so I have 3 players that are likely to get in when a slot opens.

This is something I don't like about the current process, and it will be changed for the v14 version. A First Ballot HOFer will be a First Ballot HOFer in the first year of his eligibility. The player distribution will account for that. I am looking forward to getting the next one.

Eddie Collins was the first player taken in the 2028 draft. He went to the expansion Indianapolis Sea Gulls.

The expansion scouts earned their money with their selection.

Collins promptly paid dividends as he captured Rookie of the Year honors by rapping 212 hits. He would collect 200 hits in a season 7 times, in his career. He slashed 360/462/512 his first season (npa OPS+ 168). He hit 48 doubles and 11 HRs. He scored 130 times and stole 55 bases.

Collins reties as the all time leader in Games Played (3351), AB (12641), Hits (3979), singles (2971), and walks (2059). His career slash line of 315/412/427 (t-28th/12th/*) gives him a npa OPS+ of 130. This number under represents his value, offensively as he was a top base stealer. Twice he stole over 100 bases (high of 111) in a season and retired with 1069 (2nd to Tony Campana's 1163).

His 2175 career runs scored rank him second to Rogers Hornsby's 2246.

In 2033 Collins slashed 377/467/530 (npa OPS+ 173) winning his frst of two consecutive batting titles, and the league MVP. He stole his career hih 111 bases in this season and scored 121 runs as he led the fledgling Sea Gulls to a WS title. HOFer Buddy Bell was part of this team.

Not quite as fledgling 5 years later, Collins again led the Gulls to WS glory in 2038.

Collins appeared on 12 AS teams and hit 754 doubles in his career to place him 5th All-Time. He has 2 doubles fewer than Ty Cobb and 2 more than Ed Lennox. His 99 career doubles places him 11th on that career list.

Collins is the 44th player to be inducted into both OOTP HOF, the 38th RL HOF player to be inducted here, and the 15th RL HOF in both OOTP HOF.
