Harry Heilmann was selected with the second over all pick in the 2030 draft by the Chicago White Sox. He retired following the 2052 season with a career BA of .302, and OBP of .368 and a slg% of .508. His npa OPS+ is 137.

Heilmann collected 3062 hits and hit 407 HRs and had 1669 RBI (44th, between Alex Rodriguez and Beals Becker). He hit 671 doubles (13th, between Hal McRae and Nap Lajoie) and scored 1612 times (30th, between Carl Yastrzemski and Mel Ott).

Had he retired in 2065, his numbers would have been good enough to get in on the First Ballot Standard, but in 2058, his first year of eligibility, they were not.

Heilmann got the unofficial "Dick Allen Award" in the previous HOF for being the best eligible hitter that was not inducted. Here he gets in just under the wire.

Heilmann was named to 7 All Star teams and, shockingly, managed to win a GG in RF.

Heilmann had 200 hits in a season 4 times in his career. Heilmann enters the HOF at the age of 58 with Gray Ink, HOFm, and HOFs numbers all above the Hall averages.

He is the 50th, and final, RL HOFer to gain entry into this HOF.

Black Ink: 15 (21)
Gray Ink: 136 (244)
HOFm: 221.5 (188)
HOFs: 65 (57)

Gorilla Composite: 4.3 (4.8)

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

There were plenty of guys I was pulling for to find their way into the HOF on this last ballot. That Alex Rodriguez is the final hitter to get a spot in the shrine (does he even know where Iowa is?) in the converted tractor shed at the Dyersville Field of Dreams, demonstrates I absolutely, positively played no favorites (or unfavorites).

Rodriguez was selected by the Dallas Burn with the 12th pick in the 2040 draft. At the age of 17, he played in 93 games, batted .241 and hit 11 HRs.

In 2044 he hit 37 HRs and batted .300. This would be his only season in which he batted .300.

His best season, from a npa OPS+ standpoint, was in 2049 when as a member of the Padres (and in his free agent season, go figure) he hit a career high 53 HRs and slashed 272/343/563. His slg% and RBI total of 136 were also career highs.

He signed a 7yr deal with the Mets that Off season for nearly $20M per season. He stayed with them until he retired in 2060.

In 2053 he had his worst full season. He batted .211 with 19 HRs in 158 games (out of a 158 game season). In spite of this woeful output, teammates like HOFer Hal Newhouser and a guy named Schmidt at 3b carried him and the Mets to a WS title.

How accurate is OOTP? In 69 post season games, A-Rod batted a -buck-96. Gotta love that.

A-Rod appeared in 4 All-Star games, but won 0 GGs. His career slash line of 253/321/466 (npa OPS+ 119) has George Perring scratching his head.

A-Rod hit 550 HRs (49th) in his career and drove in 1688 (43rd, between Troy Tulowitski and Harry Heilmann) and scored 1515 times (t-56th). He also struck out 2502 times (8th).

Rodriguez enters the HOF by virtue of his HOFm/s numbers being above the Hall averages.

Black Ink: 18
Gray Ink: 90
HOFm: 190.5
HOFs: 59

Gorilla Composite: 3.8

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

Chris Carpenter is the final pitcher and the final player to be enshrined. With a name like Carpenter, he belongs in the converted tractor shed.

Carpenter was taken by the Pirates with the first pick of the 2033 draft.

During his career he won 225 games (t-37th, george Davies) and 2 Cy Young Awards. He took losses 145 times. In 2043 and 2044 he anchored the Padre staff as the won consecutive WS. HOF Willie Mays was another star on the team.

Carpenter struck out an even 2700 men (93rd, 8 behind Red Ehret) in 3284 IP (85th).

Carpenter gets into the HOF on the Veteran Standard in his first year of being eligible for the Veteran Standard, at the age of 57, having retired in 2051.

Black Ink: 10
Gray Ink: 121
HOFm: 109.3
HOFs: 49

Gorilla Composite: 2.5
