PURESIM BASEBALL, UNIVERSAL HALL OF FAME

CF Antoine Johns, 6'2, 195 - Champaign-Urbana, Illinois
HOF Points: 47.72
It is unlikely that we will see a player of Johns' calibre again. A five-tool player blessed with tremendous power and speed, he cracked the Cannons' lineup at age 20. He went on to be a 700-700 man, and became the all-time leader in Home Runs. He won 4 MVPs, 3 Batting Titles, and led the league in Home Runs 6 Times. He also accomplished the Triple Crown twice (.339, 57-140 in 2021) and (.346, 67-145 in 2023). With such a potent stick, he led the Calgary Cannons to 7 Canadian Baseball League Championships during his 20 year tenure.

CF Jared Ashburn, 6'0, 185 - Santa Monica, California
HOF Points: 43.06
Dominant is the only word to describe Ashburn. Over 19 years playing in the Federal Association, Ashburn amassed two world championships, five home run titles, three batting titles and one triple crown. His stature in the game was recognized by the league, voting him an amazing six times as Most Valuable Player.

2b Nicholas Croskey, 5'9, 168 - San Antonio, Texas
HOF Points: 41.24

Although diminutive in stature, he had plenty of power winning seven home run titles. Along with one world championship, Croskey also managed two batting titles, two triple crowns and was a three-time MVP.

CF Thomas Cuthbert, 6'3, 210 - Benton Harbor, Michigan

CF Kenneth Quintana, 6'2, 194 - Erie, Pennsylvania
HOF Points: 38.49
Drafted by Hawaii in 2053, Quintana was promptly traded to Hartford for a forgettable pitcher. He went on to have the most remarkable career in Federal Association history. Among his achievements are two triple crowns, two MVP awards and seven home run titles, the last of which came at the age of 38. He is currently the all-time leader in Runs, Hits, Doubles, RBI, and Walks. Although he was reduced to mainly pinch hitting duties in his later years, Quintana stayed with the major league club until the age of 51 and managed to collect 128 home runs and 1239 hits after the age of 40. Ken helped the Charter Oaks win four world championships in three different decades.

HOF Points: 38.00
Otis Crumble was a late bloomer, playing more than 1000 games in the minor leagues before being given the chance to play every day with the Hollywood Stars. His impact after arriving in the big leagues was enormous. In a span of ten seasons, Crumble collected four batting titles, two home run crowns, two triple crowns and an amazing six MVP awards while leading the Stars to seven post season appearances. His only world championship came as a platoon player in his final season with Hartford. He is the All-Time Leader in .SLG.

HOF Points: 26.29

P Kerry Wood, 6'5, 230 - Irving, Texas
HOF Points: 99.18
It is unlikely any pitcher will surpass the accomplishments of Kerry Wood. Wood is the all-time leader in GS, CG, SHO, IP, K, W and ERA. He led the league in wins, IP and GS for 19 consecutive seasons, ERA 11 times (4 straight), strikeouts 21 consecutive seasons, and CG and SHO 15 times (6 straight). Wood accomplished the Triple Crown 11 times (4 straight) and won the Cy Young 18 times (15 straight). No pitcher will match these records.

He won 10 Cy Young Awards, had 12 20-win seasons, and 8 ERA titles including 6 seasons with a sub-2.00 ERA. He has set the bench mark from which all other pitchers will be judged.

P Carroll Jenkins, 6'7, 241 - Las Vegas, Nevada

Jenkins is a definite candidate for best pitcher of all-time. He led the majors in GS 13 times, CG 9 times, K 4 times, IP 11 times, W 9 times and ERA 4 times. He had 12 20+ win seasons (10 consecutive), 7 times with 25+ wins, and 11 times had an ERA below 3.00. Along the way Jenkins amassed 14 championships and 9 Cy Young Awards.

P Victor Horner, 6'0, 189 - Quebec City, Quebec
HOF Points: 47.46
If you needed to win one game, who would you select as your starting pitcher? Victor Horner is a frequent answer to that question. Growing up in Canada, Horner ended up pitching 19 years in the Majors, leading the league in ERA five times and twice in strikeouts, while helping the Chattanooga Lookouts to 6 World Series Titles. Striking fear into hitters every time he took the mound, he threw an amazing four no-hitters, including one perfect game and another with only one walk. Horner was also the definition of clutch as one of his no-hitters was in the World Series.

Foster Ward is another candidate for best pitcher of all-time. He led the majors in Wins eight times, GS and CG seven times, K six times, IP five times, ERA twice and once in SHO. He had ten consecutive seasons with at least 21 wins, fourteen consecutive seasons with at least 7 complete games, and nine seasons with an ERA under 3.00. Ward also accomplished the rare pitching triple crown, and he did it twice, including an incredible 31-3 record with an ERA of 2.43 alongside 210 strikeouts in 2048. It is little wonder that he won seven Cy Young Awards and backstopped Arizona to 11 World Series Titles. Indeed, a candidate for best of all-time.

P Stephen Bradshaw, 5'11, 170 - Amarillo, Texas
HOF Points: 39.31
Probably the best kept secret in the majors, Bradshaw was frequently overshadowed by his teammate David Jimenez. Bradshaw was one of only two pitchers to win 300 games in Major League 1871 history, winning 83.5% of games when he was the pitcher of record. He also led the league in shut outs four times. Bradshaw could have been the Ace on any team in the league, except the one he was on.

P Harvey Kim, 6'4, 207 - Greensboro, North Carolina
HOF Points: 34.62
Washington Expos star pitcher Harvey Kim pitched only nine years in the major leagues, but left a legacy of pitching superiority that will mark post-Civil War baseball for ages. Kim, born in 1846, was too young to firsthand experience slavery or the horros of war. What he did learn was how to throw a baseball with unerring accuracy. Scouts traveled from Raleigh, Atlanta and other large Southern cities to see the lanky sone of a Korean father and African-American mother pitch against barnstorming teams that replaced the troops previously encamped in central North Carolina. They reported that Kim, who had little schooling, learned control by working on corn farms and pecan orchards, where he deftly threw produce into bushels. The upstart Los Angeles Dodgers signed him as a 25 year old in 1871. He went 14-8 during his rookie year, but dazzled baseball with a 2.17 ERA and only 58 walks in 236 innings. Kim won the very first Cy Young Award in Vravos Association history, but was traded two years later to the Washington Expos for utility infielder (and career .300 hitter) Levi Meyerle. Kim then enjoyed one of baseball's most successful runs, winning the Cy Young Award four more times between 1873 and 1877. During that time, his ERA never rose above 2.42 and his record was an astounding 102-24. The "Greensboro Groundballer" was never a strikeout artist, but remained strong as an ox during his time with the Expos. Of the 309 games he started, Kim threw a complete game in 69 of them - an amazing 22%. He retired at the age of 36, a free man in Washington, D.C.

He led the Blue Sox to a World Championship in 2007, led the league in strikeouts ten times, innings pitched ten times, and ERA six times. Nance also won the Cy Young award six times, including four straight from 2008 to 2011. He pitched a no-hitter April 6, 2008 versus Dayton.

Riddle won 85% of the games in which he was the pitcher of record, a higher percentage than posted by Jimenez or Bradshaw. What can you say about a man who happened to sit number two in a pitching rotation deemed to have the top four pitchers in league history? Riddle is third in career wins, fourth in strikeouts, and third in complete games and shutouts, in both team and league history.
