The pitching inductees are alphabetical neighbors....

Harry Kelley pitched from 1924 through 1947, a span of years which covered his RL time spent in the majors. He was much more successful here.

He appeared in 731 games and won 304 and lost 249 with an OOTP ERA of 3.87 (npa ERA+ of 102).

Kelley pitched in 5 WS, winning 3 titles.

He had much better teammates here. His battery mate was Joe Torre, the best back stop to play in this league. He also had HOFers Bill White and Babe Herman scoring runs for him. Another teammate is the pitcher with the most wins who is not in the HOF...can't explain why he isn't in other than that he is perhaps getting the Clemens treatment we will see in RL, shortly.

Kelley gets in on the Veteran Standard.

Black Ink: 6
Gray Ink: 159
HOFm: 126
HOFs: 34

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

Darryl Kile enters the Hall at the age of 114...I like this world better than the real one.

Never pitching Colorado, he put up a career OOTP ERA of 2.91 (npa ERA+ of 102) and posting a career record of 282-269 from 1880 through 1897. The 76 year wait after retirement is the longest for anyone in the Hall.

He won 25 games in 1893 to win the Cy Young Award. In 1894 he won the WS pitching to HOF battery mate Bill DeLancey with HOFer Eddie Mathews at 3B.

Kile was a RL favorite of mine. I was in St Louis on June 22, 2002. This entry makes me sad.

Kile enters on the Veteran Standard.

Black: 9 (1)
Gray: 200 (82)
HOFm: 130 (31)
HOFs: 35 (12)
