Also curious about Scott Erickson (SP) - did his career ever make shape in your sim? Or disappointment like in real life?

Puckett won 5 GGs and a MVP in a 20 year career. Spent 16 with the Twins.
2033 hits, .317 BA, 837 ops.

He was inducted into the hall of fame.

Erickson played ony 6 years (40-48 with an 4.12 era)

Shad Barry won 2 GGs, but his bat never got going and he retired in 1910 with a .240 BA

Rube Kroh ended his caeer with a 72-97 recodrd with a 3.31era

Kingman won 2 GGs, but suffered a fractured skull early in his career and that affected his ratings. He retired with a .287 BA after 7 years in the majors.

I think Kingman would have purposely stuck his noggin out there to get fractured if it meant a career .287 BA

How many HR's ?

Beckley was a monster. in his 22 year career he got 3325 hits, 101 HRs, .297 ave. He wa sinducted into the HoF.

Jesse Haines is a starnge one. He played only 3 years in the majors and although his ratings look okay, he never got much playing time and retired after three years. The thing is he never got injured .

Geroge Brett played 17 years in the majors, but after early promise failed to live up to the billing. He was mostly a platoon player for the last 10 years of his career. Although he finished with a 287 ave, he never was a star.

Amos Otis won 3 GGs and finsihed 1510 hits, .262 ave, .734 ops
