Holy Macaroni! - Stanley Williams

I think I just saw the greatest player I've ever seen, in either OOTP.

1B Stanley Williams retired at the age of 44 in 2034.

Some stats: In 3594 games, he hit .318 with 3980 hits, 642 doubles, 118 triples, and 2796 runs scored. He hit 819 (!!) HRs and drove in 2455 runs. He also walked 3113 times and had a lifetime OBP of .451 and SLG of .584, as well as stole 816 bases and had an OPS+ of 191.

In 24 seasons, He was an All-Star 20 times, had 1 Gold Glove and won the MVP 14 (!!!) times!

He was also only the 7th pick in the inaugural draft.

edit: Oh, and he also hit .400 twice and over .390 once.

Nice, usually they don't last nearly long enough to rack up stats like that. Matter of fact, I don't think I've ever seen anyone be even remotely useful past the age of 38-39 before, though I have one who's going to give it a shot. RF Hideyori Yamaguchi is 37, still ranked well in all hitting categories, just passed 3k hits, 650 HR, 2k RBI. Never been a base stealer though with 3/2 speed steal ratings. Power wise, he looks a lot like Hank Aaron's career, though shorter. Don't think he ever led the league in HR (Maybe once), but he's been remarkably consistent, staying between 35-42 HR for all but 2 seasons since he became a starter.

I don't think he's going to make it more than another year or so though, since he's dropped from a 9CH-9PH-9EYE guy to 7-7-7 over the course of the first half of the season. Usually once the numbers start dropping like that, they plummet quick, no matter what their on field performance is.
