I thought I would have more entries on the FBS, but I got only one.....

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

Frank Howard gets in on the First Ballot Screening in his second year of eligibility.

Drafted by the Red Sox with the 12th selection in the 2035 draft, Howard and Beantown didn't come to terms. He was taken with the 10th pick in 2036 by the Columbus Ions. They were happy.

Howard hit 54 HRs in his rookie season to win ROY. He put the Ions on his back (how much can they weigh?) and, uh, powered them to WS victory....

No other player from that team is in the HOF, and probably no one else will get in from that team.

Howard spent 6 years in Columbus and hit 50+ HRs three of those seasons. He left for St Louis as a free agent and in his first six years there he hit 50 HRs three times, also.

In 2047 he set career highs in HR (64), RBI (158), OBP (.400) and slg (.578) while hitting .298 and carrying a npa OPS+ of 197. This production earned him league MVP.

Howard appeared in 6 All Star games and collected 2420 hits in his career (95th, 5 behind Boog Powell and 11 ahead of Adrian Gonzalez), 647 of which were HRs (19th). 279/351/550 (slg% tied for 55th with Ed Lennox) is what he slashed in his career for a npa OPS+ of 144 (RL OPS+ 142). He had 1764 RBI (26th, 3 ahead of Joey Votto) and scored 1398 times.

A monster of a man in RL. If you ever have a chance to go to RFK Stadium, find one of the three white seats in the upper deck and look down at where home plate would be. Those seats are where Frank Howard HRs landed...and there is no such things as wind blowing out in RFK. It is awe inspiring.

Black Ink: 24 (17)
Gray Ink: 140 (121)
HOFm: 190.5 (61)
HOFs: 53 (26)

Gorilla Composite: 4.2 (2.4)

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

Cliff Johnson is the 45th player to be inducted into this HOF and the previous one. He joins his surnamesake Walter as 2 timing Johnsons.

Cliff Johnson likes to catch in OOTP. Even using recalc, he plays the position until the end of his career. His last two seasons, 2049 and 2050, he played 1152 games in each, and caught all 152 times, each year.

The Orioles used the 4th pick in 2036 draft to select Johnson. In 2039, at the age of 25, Johnson had his best season in the big leagues. He had career highs across the board (including a career high 2 triples) hitting 58 HRs, driving in 135 and slashing 305/398/661 (npa OPS+ 177).

He did not win the MVP for this season, but he and fellow HOFers Rick Monday and Rusty Staub made the Camden Yard faithful celebrate with a WS win.

In his 14 year career, he hit 549 HRs (43rd, 1 ahead of Joey Votto) and drove in 1471 (78th). His career slash line of 264/354/535 makes for a npa OPS+ of 137.

A 5 time All Star, Cliff Johnson enters the HOF by virtue of his HOFs number being above the Hall average (a result of C being his primary position, here).

Black Ink: 1
Gray Ink: 191
HOFm: 155.5
HOFs: 57

Gorilla Composite: 2.8

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

King Kelly is the 16th RL HOFer to be inducted into both OOTP HOF. I predicted 20. It looks like that call will be about right.

Kelly is the 39th RL HOFer entered here. He is the 45th player to be in both converted tractor sheds that are these HOF.

Kelly was taken by the Giants with the first pick in the 2021 draft.

He promptly hit .311 with 26 HRs and 112 RBI to win ROY.

In 2036 he, along with previous HOF inductee Ken Griffey Jr, led the Giants to WS crown.

In 2024 he had an MVP season with career highs in hits (191), HRs (33) and all slash stats as his 322/395/588 gave him a career high npa OPS+ of 170.

In 16 seasons he collected 2108 hits, 248 HRs, drove in 1026 and scored 1178 times. His career slash line of 276/338/460 gives him a npa OPS+ of 119. He also stole 388 career bases (t-83rd).

Kelly was a 4 time All Star and won a GG as a C. He enters the HOF on the Veteran Standard at the age of 58.

Black Ink: 7 (23)
Gray Ink: 77 (221)
HOFm: 161 (64)
HOFs: 47 (45)

Gorilla Composite: 2.8 (3.6)

NOTE: Though Johnson and Kelly have the same 2.8 GC, they enter the HOF differently. Kelly could not enter on the Standard Standard this year, as Johnson did. His HOFm number was barely shy of the needed ammount for a standard entry.

However, Johnson, if he had been eligible for the Veteran Standard, would not have gotten in via that path because he lacks the needed Ink total, at this time. Both are deserving, yet both had different types of careers and were different types of players and get in through different means (no pun intended).
