Class of 1993: Larkin

Barry Larkin, newly enshrined in RL HOF, is the sole entry in the class of 1993.

Larkins numbers here are very similar to those in RL. He retired in 1987, the second year of his RL career, so the era adjustment pushes his raw numbers down, here.

Drafted with the 3rd overall pick by the expansion Expos in 1968, Larkin played in Montreal through 1985 before making stops in Boston, and finally Cincinnati in his final two seasons.

He put up a career slash line of 272/343/409 (RL: 297/371/444) for a npa OPS+ of 114 which compares to RL OPS+ of 116.

Larkin collected 2754 hits in a career that included 8 All Star teams and in 1981 he did something no one in RL ever did....win a WS in Montreal.

Larkin won 5 GGs and was also ROY.

Larkin gets in on his first year of eligibility, but he was not a computer selection. He gets in by virtue of his HOFs number being above the Hall average.

Black Ink: 8 (0)
Gray Ink: 108 (66)
HOFm: 137 (120)
HOFs: 53 (47)

ADD: Babe Ruth makes his debut in 1993.....Ruth in his prime at the peak of the Steroid era....this could get ridiculous.
