John Mayberry Sr was selected by the Reds with the 9th pick in the 2061 draft. The following April he was named the #1 prospect in baseball. He lived up to his billing.

He debuted as a 18 year-old in 2062 and wound up with 2062 career hits. That's pretty darn cool.

He clubbed 602 HR (also a cool total which is one more than Al Rosen and ranks him 36th) in his career and collected 1529 RBI (65th, one spot behind Pablo Sandoval) while scoring 1364 times (77th, between Steve Evans and Jose Canseco).

Mayberry drew 1194 walks (25th) which led to a Jamesian pleasing 296/407/600 career slash line (*/28th, one spot behind Gavvy Cravath/43rd, between Willie Stargell and Don Mincher). He ranks 31st on the career OPS list, one spot behind Frank Howard.

In 2066 he hit a career high and league leading 77 HR and 170 RBI while slashing 338/426/781 (npa OPS+ 215) to take MVP honors. His slg% would also stand as a career high, as would his 125 runs scored.

In his free agent season of 2071 he slashed 325/433/692 (npa OPS+ 199) with 59 HR, 131 RBI and 122 runs scored. He, along with HOFer Home Run Baker, led the Reds to a WS win.

The Reds did not come to terms with Mayberry. He didn't come to terms with anyone else, and sat for the 2072 season. During this era teams were very tight fisted. This has changed since the latest expansion.

a 7 time All Star, Mayberry enters the HOF in his first year of eligibility at the age of 45.

----------------------------------

Lou Gehrig also, appropriately, enters on the First Ballot.

Gehrig was selected by the Diamondbacks with the 11th pick in the 2064 draft. Like Mayberry, he was named the number one prospect the following April. He, too, lived up to that billing.

Gehrig played with Arizona through the 2078 season, and was the centerpiece of what would by The Dynasty in the Desert.

During his tenure, the D-Backs won the division 5 times and took home 3 WS trophies.

In 2069, Gehrig posted career highs in hits (218), HR (64), RBI (163), R (157), and BB (117). His slash line of 361/466/769 and npa OPS+ of 226 were also all career highs. Gehrig won his his first of two MVPs this season. He also won his first WS with this squad which included HOFer Albert Belle.

This was the second straight season in which Gehrig collected 200 hits, 60 HRs, and a npa OPS+ over 200.

In 2073 he hit 45 HR and won his second WS. He is the only player from this team to be entered in the HOF. This season he scored 100 runs for the 8th consecutive year, and 40+ HR for the 7th consecutive year.

In 2075 he slashed 323/415/617 (npa OPS+ 180) with 45 HR and 135 RBI, to win his second MVP.

He followed up with a 29 HR 166 RBI 2076 season in which he won his 3rd WS. HOF Home Run Baker was also on this team.

Gehrig hit 20+ HR in 15 straight seasons. He had 100+ RBI in 11 straight seasons.

He left baseball in 2078, but came back with the 2081 Tigers and a respectable .281 with 24 HR at age 35.

He did not play again until 2084 when the Tigers gave him another crack. A .209 BA in 95 games showed that Father Time had won out, yet again, and Gehrig retired 2 HR short of 600.

589 HR (38th, between Al Rosen and Nate Colbert), 470 doubles (t-81st, Roberto Alomar) and 80 triples (17th) on 2598 hits (41st, one more than Sam Crawford, one slot behind Frank Howard) are the totals he compiled. He drove in 1714 (35th, two fewer than Bill Skowron, one spot ahead of Duke Snider) and scored 1672 times (18th, between George Brett and Willie Stargell). He slashed 309/403/598 for his career (*/39th/47th, one spot behind Hack Miller). He drew 1270 walks (17th, one spot behind Ron Santo).

A 9 time All Star, Gehrig won 5 Gold Gloves ( 4 at 1B, one in RF). He enters the HOF at the age of 45.
