For the Inaugural Class I again took the players who were retired that had the highest hit, HR, win, and K career totals. I went to the leaderboards in other categories to fill any empty slots left over.

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

I wondered how long it would take before I got a player who was in the previous HOF to be in this one. The answer was: not long at all. It also took zero time to get a RL active player enshrined.

Jose B Reyes is the All Time hits leader, with 3343, at the time of the HOF opening.

Reyes is also the career leader in triples with 177 and he holds the single season record of 28 from the 1979 season.

Reyes was chosen with the 8th pick in the 1976 draft by the Braves. 5 times he led the league in triples, and twice he led the league in runs scored. He scored 1665 runs in his career which is second best, all time.

4 times he collected 200 or more hits in a season, leading the league one time.

He split his career between 2B and SS, depending on team need, winning 2 GGs at SS. He stole 792 bases in his career, 3rd most.

In spite of being the all time hit leader and 4 times getting 200 hits and stealing all those bases and scoring all those runs, he only appeared on 2 All-Star teams. Perhaps there is a political aspect to the OOTP AS selection process, after all?

Reyes posted a career slash line of 296/331/418 for a npa OPS+ of 107. As OPS, and OPS+, places no value on speed, this number undervalues his offensive output. Though not his best OPS+ season, 1979 was the best for Reyes as he collected 217 hits, stole 95 bases, and scored 118 runs while slashing 294/331/438 (OPS+ 109).

Reyes is the career leader in AB with 11305. In a high injury environment, this actually means something. He is also the career leader in singles with 2547.

He won a WS in 1988 with the Reds and in 1995 with the Indians. He was named an honorary Ohio Player. Reyes retired following the 2001 season.

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

Mark McGwire enters as the All-Time HR leader with 738. He hit a long ball at the amazing rate of one every 10.9 AB for his career. He was plauged by injuries, and retired at age 36.

Big Mac was selected by the Dodgers with the 7th pick in the 1986 draft. He appeared in 13 All-Star games. The delopment engine was kind to his glove as he also won 3 GGs at 1B.

In an amazing run, he won the league MVP 4 consecutive years, from 1991-1994. He hit a career high of 62 HRs (ironic) in 1993 and 1994.

He collected 2172 hits in his career (32nd), drove in 1797 (2nd) and scored 1559 (4th). He drew 1481 walks, second all time.

For his career he slashed 270/389/478 for a HOF elite npa OPS+ of 163, which is, ironically, his RL OPS+.

8 times he led the league in HRs. 4 times he led the league in RBI. He twice led the league in TB and R.

In 1994 he posted a slash line of 295/407/705 for a npa OPS+ of 192. In another bit of irony, he had perhaps his best season in 1998 when he batted .309 while hitting 52 HRs and walking a career high 147 times. He walked over 100 times in a season seven times.

From 1988 through the 200 season, he drove in 100 or more runs a year each season, despite missing time to injury. In all but one of those seasons he also scored 100 runs.

McGwire appeared in one WS, but did not win a title.

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

Gary Sheffield enters as the All-Time leader in G (2899), runs (2034), TB (5864), and RBI (2132). He is also the career VORP leader with a figure of 1132.1.

Selected by the Dodgers with the first pick overall in the 1984 draft, Sheffield played through the 2006 season. During his career, in which he slashed 299/387/544 (npa OPS+ 154), he hit the second most career HRs of anyone in league history, 694.

Sheffield appeared in 14 All-Star games, won the MVP in 1990, and picked up a GG at 3B. In that FA year of 1990, Sheffield hit 40 HRs, drove in 118, and scored 133 times while slashing 333/376/586 (npa OPS+ 168).

He signed as a Free Agent with the Tigers and led them to a WS title in 1991.

He hit a career high 52 HRs to lead the league (tied with McGwire), in 1998.
