New members to the Hall are Johnny Mize, Ty Cobb, Dave Parker, Patrick Corbin, Cecil Fielder and Wade Boggs.
Fielder getting in is a complete mystery. Lifetime .255 hitter, 2241 hits, 1265 runs, 454 home runs, 1427 RBI 41.0 WAR. 38.1 JAWs(HOF~50) Black Ink 32(HOF~24) Gray Ink 124 (HOF~134) HOF Standard 37(HOF~53)HOF Monitor 116(HOF~142). He did have 2 MVP season, 1977 and 1979. In 77 he hit 59 home runs and drove in 161, both league records. 4 career silver slugger awards. He won 4 rings, earning World Series MVP honors in 1977.
Have tons of studs in the league right now, with Ted Williams topping the list. He came in for the 95 season.
Oh and Bob Buhl came in for the 1995 season as well. Not a big, but he's from Saginaw Michigan and my dad went to high school with him. . He also pitched for the short lived Saginaw Bears.

Love the Bob Buhl story. Gives you someone to root for. I've got Bautista trying to pull a Fielder in my league too, but Frank Robinson just went in and he's also a RF who would've pulled all the averages for the HoF up significantly. Also Johnny Callison and Darryl Strawberry are on this ballot, and I have them as HoFers (at least in this universe
), so that should pull the average in RF up too.
