Pudge spent his entire 16 year career with the Atlanta Braves, winning 6 championships and ruling from behind the plate with an iron fist. Unfortunately we have no stats to gauge just how dominate Pudge was on defense, but most teams did not dare try and steal bases against the Braves for 16 straight years. Pudge was also no slouch with a bat either, with a .281 career average, 247 HR and a .778 OPS. Pudge will of course enter as an Atlanta Brave. Congrats to Rodriguez and Manager Erick Noland.

Griffey did not have the greatest batting average for what would be considered a Hall of Famer, he more than made up for it with superb defense. Griffey played for numerous managers in his career but had the most success with Bill Toth and his LA Dodgers. Griffey hit 171 of his 426 HR with Toth and the Dodgers. Griffey won 5 championships including one with the Dodgers. For his career, Griffey hit .248, had 426 HR (8th all time), 1174 RBIs (9th all time) and a .825 OPS. Griffey was an even better teammate according to longtime manager Toth: “Legend. There’s nothing else to be said. Set the example for my young guys every year we had him. First to arrive, last to leave. No question, my favorite player of all time.” Toth wouldn’t comment on rumors of a statue being constructed in Griffey’s honor, would only say that Griffey “will receive the proper tribute a player of his caliber deserves”. Griffey will obviously enter the Hall of Fame as a Los Angeles Dodger. Congrats to both Griffey and manager Toth.

There haven’t been too many more polarizing figures in the history of our great league than Ramirez. Manny started his career in 1997 with the Chicago Cubs when he hit .235 with 27 HR. How many would’ve guessed then that Manny would end up number 2 all time in HR and RBI’s, been a 5 time All Star and win 5 championships? All of that being said, there’s a reason why an amazing offensive player like Manny ended up being traded a remarkable 7 times in his career. Questions of his love for the game and accusations of laziness plagued him throughout his career. Few managers were able to get the most out of him but none did it better than FCBL managing legend Brian Goodwin. Manny hit 207 of his career HR’s with Goodwins multiple teams and also won 2 of his 5 championships with Goodwin. Manny enjoyed his best year in 2001 with the Boston Red Sox when he hit .312 with 47 HR and 133 RBIs. Overall, Manny hit .284, had 552 HR (2nd all time), 1570 RBIs (2nd all time) and a .929 OPS. Manny will enter the HOF as a Seattle Mariner. Congratulations to Manny and manager Goodwin.

No player caused more controversy or debate than Barry Bonds. Barry started his career with the Seattle Mariners in 1997 and with the exception of one regrettable year with the Atlanta Braves in 2004, only had one year out of 18 where his OPS was under .900. Most players would kill for one or two years with those numbers. Barry is 5th all time in Home Runs with 467, 6th in RBI’s with 1179, and number 2 all time in walks with 1303. Even with those numbers, Bonds could not escape whispers that he was cheating to achieve the amazing numbers he continued to get year in and year out. It should be noted however, that it was never proven that Bonds ever used anything but the talent that God blessed him with. Bonds will enter the HOF as a Giant.

Randy had a storied career with eleven different franchises over a 18 year FCBL career, including multiple stints with St. Louis, New York Yankees, and the Seattle Mariners. His best years however were with the Baltimore Orioles from 1997 to 2000. Randy was truly a strikeout machine in the FCBL. He still holds the record for the most K’s in one season at 377. Oh by the way, he also holds second place (375), sixth place (346), seventh place (342), and tenth place (319) on the single season K list. Truly remarkable.

Perhaps the greatest pitcher in the history of the FCBL. Pedro Martinez played for seven different managers in seven different cities over his career. Pedro is currently number 1 in both Wins and K’s with 211 wins and an astounding 3245 K’s. To give you an idea how amazing that is, the current leader in K’s that is still playing only has 1932 K’s. Pedro is also number 4 all time in ERA at 3.41. Pedro had plenty of stops over his career, but nowhere was he better than he was in Atlanta. In the 2001 and 2002 season, Pedro put together perhaps the two greatest back to back seasons ever seen. In 2001 he had a 1.78 ERA and .80 WHIP. The next season he fell back to Earth with a 1.84 ERA and .84 WHIP. Pedro will be entering the HOF as a Brave.

John may in fact be the most unique pitcher in the history of our great league. John is 9th all time in Wins for a Starting Pitcher.

This is a feat that will probably never be matched again in the FCBL. John is also 5th all time in ERA at 3.46, and 7th all time in K’s with 1791. John of course, will be entering the HOF as an Atlanta Brave. He has 4 World Series rings with the Braves.
