Harry Carry was Master of Ceremonies for the 2049 induction ceremonies. Harry said his only regret in life was not getting a chance to pronounce Adeiny Hechavarria, forwards or backwards.

Hechavarria is the third active player to be inducted, and the first who made his RL ML debut in 2012. Needless to say that, in this instance, the OOTP scouting was considerably more favorable to Adeiny than what his RL results have shown, thus far.

Hechavarria was drafted by the Pirates in the third round (92nd selection) of the 2014 draft. Since the guys that fell in the Inaugural Draft (Sandy Koufax, most notably, Hechavarria is perhaps the biggest steal in a draft, to this point in league history.

Hechavarria played through 2042 and accumulated 2556 hits (21st, one slot ahead of Tim Wallach), 537 doubles (20th, one spot above Sam Crawford), and 374 Home Runs (74th). He drove in 1395 runs (30th) and scored 1194 (51st). He posted a career slash line of 300/351/500 (86th/*/*) for a npa OPS+ of 126.

At the age of 35 in (surprise!) his Free Agent year, he batted .341 to lead the league. He hit 36 HR and collected 113 RBI in 125 games that season.

A 7 time All Star, he appeared in 5 post seasons and one World Series but fell short of winning a title.

Hechavarria enters as a 3Bman, now the most represented position in the HOF.

Dave Kingman was drafted by the Reds with the 14th overall pick in the 2026 draft. It was good to have Harry Caray call out Kingman's name one more time.

6 times Kingman led the league in HR. He hit a career high 68 in 2038. He signed a big 5 year deal with the Marlins that off season. He was traded to the Braves in late July and helped ATL make the post season. The Braves fell in 4 to the Rockies, but Kingman had an amazing series. He was 8 for 15 with 5 HR and 6 RBI...a slash line of 533/588/1600.

Kingman played through the 2047 season and belted 818 bombs (3rd, between Barry Bonds and WIllie Stargell) and collected 1952 RBI (4th, between Orlando Cepeda and Stargell). He had 2204 base hits (52nd, one spot behind Mickey Mantle) which included 325 doubles. He scored 1427 runs and slashed 272/333/620, for a npa OPS+ of 154. He ranks 10th on the career slg% list (between Reggie Jackson and Barry Bonds) and 33rd on the career OPS list. Of course, he struck out a ton...and then some....2356 times, second most, All Time.

That Kingman hit HRs and struck out a lot is expected. However, I am not sure which surprises me more: his .306 average in 2033 over 156 games, or the fact that he won 2 Gold Gloves in the outfield.

Kingman made 8 All Star teams and enters the HOF in his first year of eligibility.
