Thoughts

One thing I left out in the previous post noting the 100th hitter entering the Hall is a bit obvious, but it snuck up on me, so I will share my myopia.

With 100 hitters in the HOF, that means it is conceivable that all 100 spots on a leaderboard could be held by HOFers. This makes a note of a position on a leaderboard more valuable. Being 97th on a list for someone entering in the class of 2087 is more meaningful than it was for someone entering in the class of 2057.

The class of 2087 has been selected, and it is an incredible class. For the first time since the Inaugural Class there are 4 First Ballot entrants (out of four).

One will be making his third Tractor Shed speech.

One is a RL immortal who will never get into Cooperstown as an inductee (Rose and Shoeless Joe are both in, already, so it aint one of them).

One should be in Cooperstown right now, imo.

And the last one should have been in Cooperstown long before he got there.

As the league population has grown I am tapping my daily quota from random.org with every season I run. I actually called on a friend to have 10000 numbers run for me so I could see how this class turned out.

But I am in a holding pattern as I like to do these when I get on a roll, and there will be no roll after I write the post. So, I am going to hold off on posting this super killer cool class until tomorrow.

Two pitching category Top 10s were filled out. Those will be posted after the Class post.
