Introduction

A big part of OOTP is 'What If', and over the years we've seen a number of dynasties where people would add their own players (or historical ones) to the draft and see what happened. Only a few months ago we followed Babe Ruth through a modern career to see what might have become of him in a modern environment.

One of my favorite eras of baseball is the 'Golden Age' immediately after World War II. I've taken five of the greater (if not greatest) players of that era, and will throw them into the modern draft to see what happens. They will be scored/tracked based on their lifetime WAR, their lifetime earnings, and the golden prize: Can they make it back to the Hall of Fame?

May I present our contestants?

All were imported as 18 year olds (except Feller, who joined the Majors at 17), with actual stats and peak years based on the peaks of their careers. How well will they stand up to their modern brethren?
