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

I was really puling for The Bull to reach 3000 Ks, but it was not meant to be. He hit 613 HRs and carried a npa OPS+ of 129, so he probably would be in the Hall, eventually, if it continued.

Eddie Mathews has played 12 years and won 8 MVPs. He has 662 HRs and a npa OPS+ of 192. He is averaging 62 HRs per 162 games and playing in a 158 game season environment. He was on his way to being a Once in a Generation player.

Harry Lumley, not listed here, is the player who won back-to-back-to-back Triple Crowns, with the last 2 including SB leading seasons also. He is still active, but injuries have reduced his output. He has 2475 hits, and 494 HRs. 225 of his home runs came in his triple crown seasons.

Cap Anson was not dominating on a season to season basis. He did not have the numbers to get in on the Standard Standard, but has the numbers to be a Veteran inductee. 2071 was his first year to be eligible for Veteran Screening, but the slots were filled before his name came up.

Chris Parmelee has been treated very kindly by the development engine. With 11 seasons under his belt, he has 386 HRs and a slash line of 312/434/570 (35th/1st/30th) and is 7th on the career OPS list and carries a 178 npa OPS+.
