Lost this post TWICE now...will make a brief one as my frustration level is peaking......

I was wrong about no pitchers retired before 1979 getting in when I said that a few classes back. Some guys I thought were sure thing First Balloters did not meet the threshold.

All players entering this year get in on the Veteran Standard. All of them were inducted by the default settings.

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

Monty Stratton. He went 51-12 in consecutive CY Young winning seasons in 1961 and 1962. He pitched the White Sox to 4 straight WS, winning twice with HOF teammates Billy Hamilton and Gus Zernial. Bobby Mathews was on one of those teams.

Stratton was 225-191, 2.43 (ERA+ 113). He played from 1951-1967, all with the White Sox.

Black Ink: 27
Gray Ink: 192
HOFm: 128
HOFs: 35

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

A year after the second Crawford enters the Hall, a second Simmons does.

Curt Simmons was the third pick back in 1889.

A four time All Star, Simmons was 237-222 with an OOTP ERA of 2.90 (npa ERA+ 109) from 1890 through 1910. He never pitched in the post season.

Simmons enter at the age of 124.

Black: 9 (1)
Gray: 147 (128)
HOFm: 119.5 (37)
HOFs: 40 (24)

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

Johnny Rigney won 256 games vs 236 losses in a career that spanned from 1907 to 1928. His OOTP ERA of 3.02 is good for a 106 npa ERA+.

He pitched in one WS in 1912 when his Boston Red Sox fell to the Boston Braves. That year he went 28-9 with a 1.79 OOTP ERA (167 ERA+) and threw a record 9 shut outs. That record stood until 1975.

Black: 21
Gray: 118
HOFm: 87.5
HOFs: 34

RL HOFer Gaylord Perry makes his debut in 1992.
