Fred McGriff is the second consecutive player to be inducted intot he HOF in his first year of eligibility. He is also the second consecutive player who gets his induction with the revised selection model instituted for this HOF. This revision to the process is a pleasing one and definitely an improvement over the previous run throughs.

McGriff was the 12th player selected in the 2036 draft, going to the Boston Red Sox.

Well, he didn't go to them, right away. It wasn't until 2037 when the Sox used their compensation pick (13th) for not signing McGriff the first time around did he become a Bostonian.

Perhaps McGriff thought he wasn't ready the year before. In 2038, he definitely was ready. In 2038 he took hoe Rookie of the Year and the Barry Bonds Best Batter Brought to you by Balko (MVP) award by smacking 54 HR, driving in 124 and scoring 130 times on a slash line of 307/392/620 (npa OPS+ 173).

In 2041 he again won the MVP award as he launched a career high 72 HRs while slashing 315/417/735 for a npa OPS+ of 205. He also collected a career high 172 RBI.

McGriff wasn't through etching his name on the MVP. In 2045 he hit 71 HR and scored a career high 140 to take home the MVP award, yet again. He is one of three players to hit 70 HR in a season twice.

In his career, which spanned through the 2059 season, McGriff hit 653 HR (12th) and 401 doubles on 2460 base hits (39th, between Pete Rose and Al Oliver). He drove in 1766 (13th, between George Brett and Shoeless Joe Jackson) and scored 1505 runs (22nd, one slot behind Hans Lobert). His career slash line of 292/369/576 gives him a npa OPS+ of 147. He ranks 56th on the career slg% list, one spot ahead of Shoeless Joe, and 64th on the career OPS list.

McGriff played in 6 play-offs, and one WS, but never took home the championship trophy.

An 8 time All Star, McGriff picked up a GG at 1B and enters the HOF at the age of 49.

Black Ink: 45 (9)
Gray Ink: 167 (105)
HOFm: 249 (108)
HOFs: 55 (48)

Gorilla Composite: 5.6 (2.7)

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

Though not the dominant force IRL to the degree he was in this league, using the standards in place here as applied to RL, McGriff should be in the RL HOF.

Fred McGriff enters his second OOTP HOF.
