So weirdly, Bill McNulty was my all-time home run leader for a time, finally knocking off Hank Aaron. I am assuming this is due to Spritze having his years in Japan and the PCL included. How did he do for you?

About the same, except that he was a Cardinal. 1976 NL ROY. Oddly enough, he hit a grand slam against the Dodgers on 4/30/76.

Mickey Lolich was a Hall of Famer! It was basically for his counting stats, I suspect. He was almost a lifelong Cardinal who finished second for Cy Young voting only once and made only two All-Star teams. He led the league in wins in 1973 and shutouts in 1966 and 1967, but never in strikeouts, although he was top five in Ks in eleven seasons. He did lead in WHIP in 1972, though.

Willie Horton, my all time favorite player, sadly never made it to the Tigers. He was a 3x All Star and, incredibly, a won Gold Glove at LF in 1968. He led the league in HR and RBI in 1967 and extra base hits in 1968.

Bill Freehan was also almost a lifelong Cardinal. He was a 5x All Star and a 1966 Gold Glove at C.

Mickey Stanley was mostly a Giant. He won a Gold Glove in 1968 at CF.

Gates Brown started out as a Twin then a Cardinal before a long pinch hitting stint with the Dodgers. He was the 1964 NL ROY and an All-Star in 1965, leading the league in RBI and extra base hits.

Vern Ruhle bounced around a few teams mostly as a middle reliever, although he was an All-Star in 1982.

Bo Jackson flashed through the MLB Replayed sky, just like IRL, but 1993 was the last year it reported he'd been injured, so I assume his skills simply deteriorated, if you can believe that. He was mostly a Mariner, a GG winner in 1991 but never an All-Star, but he did lead the league in striking out three times, including 206 SO in 1991.

Honus Wagner was a lifelong Boston Brave who was, of course, a Hall of Famer. He was 1897 ROY, a 4x Silver Slugger, a 7x Gold Glove and a 4x All-Star. Led the league in hits 2x (1899, 1904), doubles 6x (97, 98, 99, 00, 01, 04), home runs 2x (03, 08), stolen bases 5x (99, 00, 01, 05, 06), runs scored 3x (99, 01, 05), batting average 5x (98, 04, 05, 07, 11), and a few other things as well. Even with all this accomplishment, his highest salary was $4,600.

Eddie Yost had a long career with the White Sox after teenaged cups of coffee with the Indians. He was a 4x All-Star who led the league in walks twice (55, 59) hit by pitch 3x (50, 55, 58), and on base once (1956).

Justin Verlander was a Hall of Fame pitcher and a lifelong Mariner. He was an 8x All-star and one time Cy Young winner in 2013. He led the league in wins in 2013, WPCT in 2012, IP in 2010, strikeouts in 2009 and 2010, ERA in 2103, HR/9 in 2015, H/9 in 2014, Quality Starts in 2010 and 2013, CG in 2011, and shutouts in 2011 and 2016. So as you can see, he rarely had a really bad year in the Replayed world. He threw a no-hitter with 1 BB and 13 K against the Yankees on 4/29/14, and struck out 17 Tigers on 6/12/16. He also hit a home run in 2016!

Kirk Gibson was mostly a Brave who won the Silver Slugger twice (1983, 85) and was an 8x All Star (which was eight times more than in real life). Led the league in triples, home runs, RBI and runs scored in 1983, stolen bases, on base and runs again in 1985, and slugging in 1984. Gibson wended his way to Phillies and Brewers before finishing up with the Yankees.

Derek Jeter was a well-traveled Hall of Fame shortstop with the Astros (twice), Tigers, Padres, Cubs, Cardinals, Twins and Marlins. Jeter was a 3x All-Star who led the league in games played in 2003 and triples in 1997. He also had a three-homer eight-RBI game against the Brewers on 6/1/99 in which he went only 3-for-4. The most surprising thing about Jeter is that his popularity is only "well known", even locally, in the Replayed world. The least surprising thing about Jeter is that he was a terrible fielding shortstop in the Replayed world as well.

All three are Hall of Famers, by a long shot.

Nolan Ryan spent most of his career with the Indians before traveling to the Red Sox, Pirates, back to Cleveland, Dodgers and finally the Yankees. He finished seventh all time in wins, third in strikeouts, first in games started and first in walks allowed. He led the league in wins 3x (1972, 72, 75), losses twice (78, 86), walks allowed an astounding 16x, strikeouts 8x, wild pitches 5x, HR/9 twice, H/9 3x, and ERA never. He tossed only two no-hitters, one with 16 Ks in 1969, the other with 4 Ks in 1979.

Pedro J Martinez (not to be confused with regular ol' Pedro Martinez) was a 9x All-Star and 2x Cy Young winner (2000, 2001). He led the league in strikeouts five straight years from 1999-2003, including 356 in 1999 which is the second highest in the modern era. He also led in ERA from 1999-2001, WHIP from 1998-2001, K/BB ratio from 1998-2001, H/9 in 1999 and 2001, and WAR from 1999-2002. In short, he was just as dominant in the Replayed world as in real life.

Randy D Johnson (another Randy Johnson came later in the game) was one of the greatest pitchers in the modern era. He set the career record for strikeouts and was third all-time in wins. He had what might have been the greatest pitching season ever in 1998, when he went 25-2 with a 1.57 ERA (321 ERA+) and 352 Ks against only 56 BBs. He was a 13x All-Star and 5x Cy Young Award winner. Incredible as it may seem, he did not throw a single no-hitter. The most surprising thing about him was how many teams he played for (nine in all). The second most surprising thing is that he had a terrific age 44 season and retired anyway.

The ancient Billy Hamilton was a Hall of Famer who did not steal nearly as many bases in the Replayed world (640) as in real life (912), even though he played way, way more seasons in Replayed. He was a 9x All-Star and a 6x Gold Glove who also won a Silver Slugger in 1891.

The modern Billy Hamilton crapped out of the majors after a cup of coffee with the A's. He did not steal even a single base.

Looking only at World Series since 1903 (which mirrors real life, although 1904 is included), the Yankees/Highlanders went to 16 Series and won nine championships:

If you're sharp-eyed, you already noticed before reading this that the Yankees had an almost six decade World Series drought stretching from 1968 through 2023.

The Detroit Tigers have the most World Series championships (yay!) with 12. The Athletics and the Pirates have been in 20 World Series each (with the Prates winning only four, which is exceedingly bad):

Good thing this is just OOTP and its not real life, right? (Trick question OOTP is real life)

4/20 is just laughable though. Man imagine that.

Not as laughable as the Cubs in only five WS with zero championships. As unbelievable as real life is, Replayed life is even worse.

How'd Cal Ripken and Ichiro do? At a somewhat lesser quality of play, how about Brian Roberts, Nick Markakis, Ryan Zimmerman and Tyler Clippard? And on a lower level, what about David Purcey and--a bit of a weird request--Doug Million?

Also, the Rockies winning six championships? I assume they had to go on a run somewhere. Can you tell us about it, maybe?

Sorry I have all these questions. I always get excited for these threads. I had a great 1871-2013 replay in OOTP13 which I loved looking at and always found something new in, until one day my computer died.

Awesome to see the Tigers have the most Championships...

Also that Jeter was a Tiger for awhile.

It's just weird that Verlander was a lifelong Mariner.
