THE SOUNDS & SMELLS OF SPRING TRAINING!
SIMBL GMs Getting Ready For 61st Season As 2065 Spring Training Arrives & Opening Day Approaches
The 2064 SIMBL champion Bend Bandits take to the field as the SIMBL begins Spring Training for the 2065 season and prepare for the league's 61st season of history. GM Ted Williams will attempt to become only the ninth team in the SIMBL's 60-season history to defend their title and win back-to-back championships. The road to defending the title is ever-challenging each season as several seasoned SIMBL GMs load up and upgrade each offseason with free agency and building through the draft. The upcoming 2065 SIMBL Draft will start upon Opening Day as well with the announcement of the 2065 SIMBL draft class on the April 1st league date and Opening Day slated for the April 6, 2065 league date. 2065 SIMBL Hall Of Fame ballots will also be needed from all SIMBL GMs when the ballot is also released on the March 5th, 2065 league date.

Someone once said, "There's no crying in baseball." But the tears were flowing in abundance today at the Hall of Fame induction of baseball great Michael Knox. They were tears of joy.
The superstar hurler got quite emotional at times during his speech as he retraced his journey from humble beginnings to the pinnacle of success in the baseball world.
He told the audience, "The greatest feeling in the world is to win a major league game. The second greatest feeling is to lose a major league game. For someone who truly loved playing baseball, I couldn't really lose either way. Just to be on a baseball diamond is a wonderful feeling. Life just doesn't get any better than that. I will really miss it."
Baseball newest legend ended his career at age 40 with 248 wins and 189 defeats and compiled a 3.45 ERA. Knox made 597 appearances and struck out 2743 in 4109.2 innings. Teams hit a composite .255 against him.
What does it take to make the baseball Hall of Fame?
Well, whatever it is, Casey Barker has it. He was inducted into the SIM Baseball League Hall of Fame today.
Retiring at age 41, Barker had one of the most illustrious careers ever with a 220-150 won-loss mark and a 3.48 ERA. He racked up 540 mound appearances and struck out 2276 in 3332.1 innings.
Asked by reporters to describe what it takes to become a Hall of Famer, he replied, "I guess it all started at my high school graduation. The speaker said to be successful in life, you needed to find 'something you love.' I am here today because I found something I love. Baseball has been my life. It has never been a job. I have been able to have fun playing a game and making a wonderful life for myself and my family. I am a kid that never really had to grow up. Just go to the ballpark each day and throw strikes. That's it."
Casey Barker closed by saying, "God gave me the talent and blessed me with great coaches, managers, and teammates, who helped me develop it."
The SIM Baseball League Hall of Fame just added a fine left fielder and hitter to its number. The newest member of baseball's most elite group is Ben Mitchell, who retired at the age of 42.
"I always knew I was good enough to play, but the Hall of Fame was one of the few things I never even dreamed of," said Mitchell at his induction ceremony. "For me to focus a lot on the individual, that's not the way I learned to play the game. Baseball is a team game. You win as a team, you lose as team. You also do so many things together, but it is not an 'I' thing."
During his illustrious career, Mitchell had 419 home runs among his 2731 hits, while batting .285. He played in 2511 games, scored 1418 runs and knocked in 1371 runs.
SIM Baseball League's most exclusive club has a new member -- reliever John Coburn is now in the Hall of Fame. The famed bullpen specialist earned his induction with 602 saves, 1270 game appearances and a 3.36 ERA in his brilliant career. Coburn also compiled a 92-115 record and struck out 1038 batters in 1336.1 innings.
He retired from baseball when he was 44.
It is a rarity for a reliever to be inducted. The voters seem to favor starting pitchers over relief specialists, but not this year.
Coburn expressed his opinion in his induction speech. "We can't compete with their statistics, their innings and their strikeouts. It's like comparing a shortstop's numbers against a first baseman or an outfielder. We're just playing a different position. But I think without relievers, it's tough to win."
"He was steely-eyed and focused when he was on the mound. Batters had a little fear when they faced him... and you didn't dig in on him." That is how his manager described one of the best relief pitchers of all time at his Hall of Fame induction ceremony. "I never had any pitcher as good as Steven. When he came into a close game, he did it."
Steven Pfleuger retired at the age of 43 and today became a member of baseball's elite in the SIM Baseball League Hall of Fame.
In his speech he gave the secret of his success. "I learned an important lesson from my first baseball coach. He said if you take care of the basics, you will win more often than you lose. Batters had to swing at strikes. Outfielders had to religiously hit the cutoff man. Pitchers had to religiously throw strikes. If you didn't, he would yank you."
Pfleuger learned his lesson well. During his career, this remarkable bullpen specialist made 1218 relief appearances with 538 saves, while recording a 86-84 mark. He put up a 3.06 ERA with 1353 strikeouts in 1324.1 innings and held other clubs to a .231 batting average.
Just your ordinary, everyday Hall of Fame numbers, folks... that's all.
SIMBL Hall Of Fame Inducts Longtime Hustler Carl Chaulk
The baseball legends today welcomed to their exclusive club a new third baseman by the name of Carl Chaulk. His induction ceremony was held today at the SIM Baseball League Hall of Fame.
"I remember thinking to myself after I had had a couple of good years that if I keep doing this, maybe I just might make it to the Hall of Fame. The dream became a reality today and I must say this is a very proud day.
Over his career Chaulk batted .250 and collected 3190 hits, 577 home runs and 1901 RBIs. He played in 3396 games and retired from baseball at age 43. His best years came as a member of the Las Vegas Hustlers, whose hat he wore at his induction ceremony.
His former manager introduced Chaulk saying, "The big thing about Carl is that he could hit any pitch. I don't mean only strikes. He could hit a ball off his ankles or off his ear."
Longtime Giants Ace 264-Game Winner Billy Lynch Elected To SIMBL Hall Of Fame
What does it take to make the baseball Hall of Fame?
Well, whatever it is, Billy Lynch has it. He was inducted into the SIM Baseball League Hall of Fame today.
Retiring at age 43, Lynch had one of the most illustrious careers ever with a 264-209 won-loss mark and a 3.51 ERA. He racked up 604 mound appearances and struck out 3792 in 4220 innings.
Asked by reporters to describe what it takes to become a Hall of Famer, he replied, "I guess it all started at my high school graduation. The speaker said to be successful in life, you needed to find 'something you love.' I am here today because I found something I love. Baseball has been my life. It has never been a job. I have been able to have fun playing a game and making a wonderful life for myself and my family. I am a kid that never really had to grow up. Just go to the ballpark each day and throw strikes. That's it."
Billy Lynch closed by saying, "God gave me the talent and blessed me with great coaches, managers, and teammates, who helped me develop it."
Elite Reliever Todd Newell Latest SIMBL Hall Of Fame Inductee
Move over, you Hall of Fame starting pitchers, you are going to have to make room for a reliever. Todd Newell has just been called in from the bullpen and selected to the SIM Baseball League Hall of Fame.
Commenting on his selection, he said, "It's a dream come true. Every player, I don't think you consciously think about it, but every player would like to be part of the Baseball Hall of Fame."
During his outstanding career Newell pitched in 1252 games, rung up 510 saves, had 1115 strikeouts in 1372 innings and posted a 104-105 won-loss mark with a lifetime 3.00 ERA.
"Relievers are having more and more impact on the game. I'm glad we're starting to get some recognition," said Newell.
He was 46 when he retired from baseball.
Two-Time Hurler Of The Year, 209-Game Winner Jimmy Dietz Enters SIMBL Hall Of Fame
The newest member of the Major League Baseball Hall of Fame looked impressive standing in front of the assembled crowd. The bronze plaque shined in the bright sun, gleaming from the fresh polish. "Man, that guy is handsome!" Jimmy Dietz commented. "I never realized that I looked so good!"
One of the most colorful characters in league history, Dietz was also one of the league's most dominant starting pitchers. Racking up a career record of 209-140, he was a pitcher that no manager ever worried about while he was on the mound. Off the field, however...
"We always had to be careful in the locker room," one of his former managers remembered with a laugh. "If you weren't paying attention, you would fall victim to one of his infamous pranks. There was never a dull moment when this guy was around."
"I always felt that if I could bring the guys together by making them laugh, then I was doing my job on the days I wasn't pitching," Dietz explained. "We play a kids' game after all, so why shouldn't we have some fun? In fact, it was probably the key to my success. I just hope the other statues in the Hall are prepared; I'm sure this guy will keep them on their toes."
He retired at the age of 40. In his outstanding career Dietz appeared in 459 games, pitched 3106 innings, fanned 1811 batters, walked 980 and compiled a 3.37 ERA.
Two-Time Slugger Of The Year, 11-Time All-Star, 4-Time Silver Slugger Akato Sakata Latest SIMBL Hall Of Fame Legend
The way Akato Sakata played baseball made the word "superstar" seem inadequate. He played the game at an even higher level and that's why he is now one of the immortals in the SIM Baseball League Hall of Fame.
Sakata played in 2437 games with a .306 lifetime batting average. Among his 2835 hits were 411 doubles, 18 triples and 410 home runs. He also scored 1367 runs and drove in 1424 runs. Sakata was 38 when he retired.
One of his teammates described the talented first baseman this way: "The greatness of Akato Sakata was something that had to be seen... and to see him was to remember him forever."
Akato Sakata was inducted into the Hall of Fame today after being elected by the Baseball Writers Association.
The new Hall of Famer told the audience, "I just went out and did my job every day... and I guess I must have done it well. Thank you for the honor you have given me today."
Three-Time Slugger Of The Year, 11-Time All-Star Keith Cooper Joins SIMBL Hall Of Fame Immortals
"From the first time I saw him play, I knew he had the potential to be one of the best," Keith Cooper's first manager said, "and the more I saw him play, the more certain I was that he would reach that potential."
He was just one of the people there at Cooper's enshrinement in the SIM Baseball League Hall of Fame. It was a celebration of the career of one of the shining stars of his generation. His former teammates loved him and opposing fans loved to hate him, but respect followed him everywhere, as evidenced by the large crowd at the ceremony. Not only were many of his former Indianapolis Rams friends there, but opposing players and managers as well, along with a large throng of fans.
The man of the moment was overcome with emotion when he finally took his turn at the podium to speak. "This is one of the greatest moments of my life and to share it with all of you here is... simply amazing. I would just like to thank my family and all my teammates for their support during my journey here. Individual honor was never my goal, winning was, but this is more than I could have ever dreamed."
Cooper retired at the age of 40 with a .290 career batting average. He mainly played first baseman, participated in 2686 games, hit 567 home runs and batted in 1876 runs.
28 Hits Shy Of 3000, 10-Time All-Star Tyler Conway Honored By First Ballot Selection To SIMBL Hall Of Fame
A huge crowd watched Tyler Conway become the newest member of the SIM Baseball League Hall of Fame today.
"I'm a big believer in whatever you want, if you want something out of this game, you've got to put the work in it. You've got to work hard," said the outstanding third baseman, whose new plaque described him as "an artisan with a bat whose daily pursuit of excellence produced a .301 lifetime batting average, 2972 hits and 434 home runs."
Conway was just 28 hits away from becoming the 12th player in the SIMBL's 49-season history to amass 3000 career hits.
After the induction ceremony Conway was asked what was the most thrilling moment in his career. He responded quickly, "No doubt about it, your first hit in the big leagues. That's tops. It means you're on your way. When you get the first hit, then you can get the rest."
Styles Honored by First Ballot Selection to SIMBL Hall of Fame

68 home runs, 2536 hits and 759 RBIs are the stuff of legend, but D.D. Styles doesn't see it that way as one of the best contact and average hitters in SIMBL history and a high percentage lead-off threat to get a hit and steal second base to get into scoring position quickly more often then most players in SIMBL history. A three-time league batting champion, he also had four 200-hit seasons and hit over .320 in five seasons and over .300 in eight seasons of his 17-year career. One of the SIMBL's biggest threats on the base paths in the prime of his career, he was a two-time league stolen base champion and stole 60 or more bases in 10 seasons of his storied career as a lead-off catalyst for five teams in his SIMBL career.
"For me, baseball is about the team winning. I could have taken an 0-for-4 that day, but if our team won, I don't think you could have come into the locker room and been able to tell that I did not get a hit because the most important thing to me was that we won. That was what we intended to do when we took the field. That's what it was about."
Fortunately for baseball's newest immortal, he had far more good days than bad days. That's why Styles has been installed into the SIM Baseball League Hall of Fame by the Baseball Writers Association. In his historic career the standout right fielder participated in 2015 games, batted .305, scored 1166 runs and won a few games, too. Styles is widely considered as one of the best pure contact hitters in SIMBL history.

"There is so much to love about this game," the newest honoree said during his induction speech at the SIM Baseball League Baseball Hall of Fame. "I couldn't imagine anything greater than my first major league game. Then I hit my first home run. Then the other landmarks came. But nothing tops today... to think that I made it to the Hall of Fame."
The legendary second baseman put up some impressive numbers. Yokota played in 2324 games, compiled a .282 batting average, hit 354 home runs, drove in 1307 runs and scored 1391 times during his career.

During his tenure in the SIM Baseball League Miguel Gonzalez was nothing but class, on the field and off the field. Now he is part of the Hall of Fame class of 2057, having been elected by 72.7% of eligible voters.
Lifetime, Gonzalez hit for a .282 average and totaled 2865 hits, 473 home runs and 1505 RBIs.
The fine shortstop was officially inducted today and took his place among baseball's best. He retired in 2056 at the age of 39.
One of his friends and former teammates told the audience, "The greatest thing he taught me was on my first day in the big leagues -- it was the hustle. He hit two one-hoppers to the pitcher and ran as hard as he could to first base. Miguel set a great example for me to model my career. His hustle and desire -- those were the little things that stood out for me. Plus he's one of the best hitters I've ever played with."
In his speech Gonzalez expressed his thanks and gratitude to the many people who helped make this wonderful day possible. "I have been truly blessed. I have been able to do something I love and get paid very well for it. There was no place that I ever wanted to be but on the baseball diamond every day doing what I love.

The induction ceremony, which was held today, included tributes from his former teammates. One of them recognized his unparalleled work ethic, another his "naturally pure" swing, and yet another, his love for the game.
Morraco received numerous awards during his playing days, but he said nothing can compare to being enshrined into the Hall of Fame.

"He simply produced -- game after game after game. That's what I loved about him."
Those sentiments were expressed by one of Hugh Gordon's managers from his Boston Revolution days at the gifted shortstop's Hall of Fame induction ceremony yesterday. On a cloudy, but comfortable afternoon, he took his rightful place among the best SIM Baseball League players of all-time.
The newest SIMBL Hall of Famer assessed his career in these words: "I did my best to contribute to the team -- in the field, at the plate, in the dugout. I didn't care about personal numbers. I just went out there to win."
Gordon spent his best years playing for the Boston Revolution (now River City Rascals), playing in 2865 games with a .285 career batting average and 3182 hits. He also scored 1721 runs and drove in 1559 runs with 530 home runs. The #1 overall pick of the 2037 SIMBL Draft won the Syndicate League Slugger Of The Year MVP Award in his fourth season in 2041, was a seven-time All-Star and a five-time Gold Glove winner at second base and is a two-time SIMBL champion helping lead the Montreal Mavericks in 2046 and the Indianapolis Rams in 2048 to the SIMBL Coveted Cup Championship and appeared in 9 postseasons.
A rare power and speed threat, Gordon's eleven 30 home run/30 stolen base seasons are tied with current players Trevor Lane and Manuel Ayala as the most in SIMBL history. His 92.4 WAR posting is the 6th all-time among batters and 16th overall in SIMBL history. The newly elected Hall Of Famer's 9.6 WAR in 2041 was at the time the 5th-highest by a batter in a single-season in the SIMBL New File Era (2019-current) and currently stands 12th-best all-time.
Gordon retired from baseball when he was 41.

There is a new statue in the SIM Baseball League Hall of Fame.
It belongs David Virgil. The star pitcher was inducted this past weekend. All it took to get there was 232 wins.
"I always dreamed of being a SIM Baseball League player, but I never dreamed of being in the Hall of Fame," Virgil said, "I could have never envisioned myself standing next to my childhood idols and yet here I am. And to the Hall of Famers sitting behind me, I am truly humbled and in awe of standing here in front of you."
In his career, David Virgil, who is a 11-time All-Star and two-time SL Fireman Of The Year Award winner, posted a record of 232-179 and fanned 2312 batters in 3716 innings with a 3.30 ERA. The 7th overall pick of the 2037 SIMBL Draft is the second pitcher in SIMBL history, joining fellow SIMBL Hall Of Famer Keith Patterson, to have won 200 games and saved 150 games. Virgil won 15 or more games in nine seasons and led the league in ERA twice and in saves once. He was a pivotal part of winning a championship in 2040 with the Asheville Smokies. After spending his first five seasons as a reliever, winning the 2040 and 2041 SL Fireman Of The Year Awards in the process, Virgil's 232 career wins are 14th in SIMBL history. Virgil is one of only 30 players in league history to have been named as an 11 or more time All-Star selection.
At times David Virgil fought back tears as he thanked his family and close friends for sticking by him when he had to overcome some difficult personal problems.
Summing up his years on the diamond, Virgil offered a hopeful message to the large induction crowd.
"I care for this game with my heart and soul. I dedicated my life to being the best pitcher I could be. You leave me humbled and grateful for this honor. I'd like to leave an offering of a message of hope. That is, with the grace of God, you can change your life, whoever you are."

All-time he played in 2424 games, batted .276 with 509 home runs, 2540 base hits, 1561 RBIs and 1370 runs scored -- stats great enough to be acclaimed a baseball immortal.
Pedro Santana was officially inducted into the SIM Baseball League Hall of Fame today. This was his 4th time on the ballot, where he was elected with 70.8% of the vote.
At his Hall of Fame induction, the superstar shortstop told the audience the secret of his success: "I was born to be a ballplayer... I also practiced a lot. Sunup to sundown in the summertime my brothers and I would be on the ballfield. We did it every minute we could. Boy, I loved to play baseball. Still do, and still would, if I could. I always got a special kick on opening day, no matter how many you went through. I looked forward to it like a birthday party when you're a kid. You think something wonderful is going to happen."
One of his managers summed up his career very well: "You saw him standing out there on the diamond and you knew you had a darn good chance to win the baseball game."
One of the SIMBL's all-time most consistent production power hitters, Santana drove in 100 runs in nine consecutive seasons from 2040-2048 and posted eight consecutive 30 HR 100 RBI seasons from 2040-2047 which is the second-most in the SIMBL New File Era (2019-current). At the time of his retirement, Santana's 509 career home runs and 1561 RBI were both 14th in league history all-time. His nine 100 RBI seasons are tied for 5th-best in the SIMBL's 40-year New File Era (2019-current). Santana is one of only 14 positional players to have played the same position for one team consecutively for 16 or more seasons and him and Clippers second baseman Trevor Lane were double play teammates for a SIMBL-record 15 consecutive seasons from 2040-2054.
A three-time SIMBL champion and three-time postseason MVP and the 2043 ULCS and 2043 SIMBL Coveted Cup Championship Series MVP, Santana retired from baseball in 2054, when he was 39. He wore a Calgary Clippers hat at his induction ceremony. Santana became the 16th elected Hall Of Famer to have played his entire career with one team.

To Be Continued To Finished
One of the most feared leadoff hitters in SIMBL history, Angel Vasquez played baseball a brief 13 seasons and he played it well. Then at the age of 41, he called it a career. In recognition of his outstanding accomplishments, Vasquez has been voted into the Hall of Fame, with 75.0% of ballots voting him in.
"There is so much to love about this game," the newest honoree said during his induction speech at the SIM Baseball League Baseball Hall of Fame. "I couldn't imagine anything greater than my first major league game. Then I hit my first home run. Then the other landmarks came. But nothing tops today... to think that I made it to the Hall of Fame."
The legendary center fielder put up some impressive numbers. Vasquez played in 1796 games, compiled a .302 batting average, hit 60 home runs, drove in 622 runs and scored 1348 times during his career. His 1056 stolen bases are one of only ten players in SIMBL history with 1000 career swipes stealing 90+ bases in seven seasons and 80+ bases in nine seasons. A three-time league batting champion, he hit .300 or better in six seasons and .299 in two others and hit .290+ in ten of his 13 seasons. He led the league in on base percentage four times, walks four times, runs three times and hits twice.
Vasquez's 10.61 WAR in his rookie and MVP season of 2040 was the highest in SIMBL history at the time and still stands as the 4th-best WAR season in the 40-year SIMBL New File Era (2019-current).
Vasquez became the second player in SIMBL history to win a Rookie Of The Year Award and Most Valuable Player Award, after fellow SIMBL Hall Of Famer Jake Boles, in the same season in his 2040 rookie season, one of the best debut seasons in league history. He made 8 consecutive All-Star teams in his first eight seasons in the SIMBL from 2040-2047 which ties for 5th-best in the SIMBL New File Era (2019-current). Vasquez lead three teams to seven postseason berths in his first ten seasons.

The SIM Baseball League Hall of Fame honors those players who are the best at their position, those special individuals whose skills make them unforgettable in the eyes of baseball fans everywhere. Another such player was recognized today, as second baseman Pedro Cendejas Jr. was enshrined at his induction ceremony.
Cendejas Jr. was drafted #1 overall by the Whitby Battalion in the 2040 SIMBL Draft and became the first player in SIMBL history to bypass any minor league play and go directly to the SIMBL big league. Cendejas Jr. went on the become a 12-time All-Star and a 7-time Silver Slugger Award winner.
There was no mistaking the look of pride on Pedro Cendejas Jr.'s face as he saw his statue for the first time and the plaque recounting the many accomplishments over his 2719-game career. Cendejas Jr. played until he was 42 and had a lifetime .286 batting average with 486 home runs. The SIMBL's newest Hall of Famer batted in 1600 runs and scored 1732 times.
Fans of all ages watched in appreciation as Cendejas Jr. blinked back tears. "I really don't know what to say during such an enormous moment," he managed to finally say, "because words cannot describe all the feelings and thoughts running through my head. The love and appreciation from all my fellow players and all the fans out there has been overwhelming, but I would not be here today without the love and support of my family. My greatest thanks goes to them."
Today, one of the legendary kings of the hill received his due recognition. Richard Nagy was enshrined into the SIM Baseball League Hall of Fame. One of the most fearsome hurlers to ever take the mound in SIMBL history, Nagy earned this coveted honor by dominating hitters with a 261-166 record over a 594-game career. In 4028.1 innings he fanned 3412 batters, walked 883 and compiled a fine 3.21 ERA. The 4-time Hurler Of The Year and 11-time All-Star Nagy retired at the age of 40.
Nagy was the #1 overall pick by the former Boston Revolution (now River City Rascals) in the 2038 SIMBL Draft and joins nine other #1 picks (Daryl Ryles 2005, Colt McAlister 2019, Joe Tarnowsky 2022, Jimmy Wagner 2024, Deryk Ryles 2025, Michael Kilbane 2029, Billy Lynch 2032, Hugh Gordon 2037 and his Class Of 2059 colleague Pedro Cendejas Jr. 2040) to play their way from first overall pick to the SIMBL Hall Of Fame.
The left hander spent his five season with Boston before he was traded to Seattle-Ann Arbor in a shocking trade in 2045. Nagy pitched for the Wolverines for four seasons before being traded again in 2048 to the Indianapolis Rams then traded again to Cleveland in 2052 spending one season with the Brownies. The -time Hurler Of The Year again was traded back to Ann Arbor in 2052 and spent another three seasons with the Wolverines from 2052 until 2055. After signing with Oregon and spending the 2056 season with the Pioneers, Nagy concluded his Hall Of Fame career again with Indianapolis in 2057 and 2058.
"My teammates did a lot for me over the course of my career and I wouldn't be here without their help," Nagy said as he stood before the large crowd of fans and diamond legends. "It's easy to rack up as many wins as I did when your teammates play such great defense and score as many runs as mine did. But in turn, when they weren't having a great day, I knew I had to return the favor and that's why we were all so successful. We played for each other."
When it comes to relievers, five-time Middle Reliever Of The Year Russell Kirk was as good as they get. When he stepped on the mound in the crucial late innings and took the ball, you could just about book it -- case closed, game over. That's the prime reason the Baseball Writers Association has elected the talented hurler to the SIM Baseball League Hall of Fame.
Kirk played until he was 42. When he retired, he had accumulated some very impressive stats. Kirk pitched in 920 games, saved 113 of them, worked 1214.2 innings, fanned 1105 batters and had a 2.42 ERA. His career won-lost record was 114-47.
Kirk closed his induction speech with these words: "I had a lot of help getting here today. I had some great role models along the way. As a kid my baseball heroes were some of you guys that are here today. I wanted to be like you on the field and I am so darn proud to join you in the Hall of Fame."
His idols were proud of him, too. Each of them rose up and gave him a standing ovation.
SHIMAZU, LANE, HENDERSON, BURBACH & ORF VOTED INTO SIMBL HALL OF FAME AS CLASS OF 2060
Kimoyo Shimazu, a standout second baseman throughout his SIM Baseball League career, has been inducted into the Hall of Fame in his 1st attempt.
During the induction ceremony, he credited the coaches who taught him to play the game and the teammates who taught him to be a professional.
However, the most important influence, Shimazu said, was his father. "Pops never gave up on me," he said, "no matter how often I felt like giving up on myself.
In his 2928-game career, Shimazu hit .309 with 3596 hits, 274 home runs, 1755 runs scored and 1462 RBIs.
He wrapped up his career at the age of 41 and r"From the first time I saw him play, I knew he had the potential to be one of the best," Trevor Lane's first manager said, "and the more I saw him play, the more certain I was that he would reach that potential."
He was just one of the people there at Lane's enshrinement in the SIM Baseball League Hall of Fame. It was a celebration of the career of one of the shining stars of his generation. His former teammates loved him and opposing fans loved to hate him, but respect followed him everywhere, as evidenced by the large crowd at the ceremony. Not only were many of his former Calgary Clippers friends there, but opposing players and managers as well, along with a large throng of fans.
The man of the moment was overcome with emotion when he finally took his turn at the podium to speak. "This is one of the greatest moments of my life and to share it with all of you here is... simply amazing. I would just like to thank my family and all my teammates for their support during my journey here. Individual honor was never my goal, winning was, but this is more than I could have ever dreamed."
Lane retired at the age of 41 with a .280 career batting average. He mainly played second baseman, participated in 2810 games, hit 531 home runs and batted in 1788 runs.etired, hanging up his cleats in 2059.
Doug Henderson, the great center fielder and consummate professional, was inducted into the SIM Baseball League Hall of Fame today.
At the induction ceremony, he grew misty-eyed as he recalled the highlights of his playing career: his first base hit, his first home run and -- humorously -- the first time he was thrown out at home plate.
Henderson says he blew through his third base coach's stop sign. As he returned to the dugout, his manager simply glared at him.
"His eyes just burned a hole right through me," Henderson chuckled. "If looks could kill, I wouldn't be here today."
More often than not, Henderson pleased his managers and coaches during a superb career.
His all-time numbers show Henderson compiled a .289 batting average and collected 2943 hits, 472 home runs and 1481 RBIs. In all, he played in 2605 games. Henderson retired from baseball in 2059.
When you think about some of the greatest names in baseball history, Leroy Burbach's name inevitably pops up. The recently retired hurler, who struck out 3248 batters on his way to a 223-166 record, was a dominating figure on the mound, frustrating hitters and opposing fans everywhere. Now, Burbach takes his rightful place among the greats in the SIM Baseball League Hall of Fame.
"I loved throwing the ball around with my dad back when I was a little kid," Burbach recounted for the crowd at the ceremony. "It started out as a way to bond with him and as I got older and began to dream of being a big leaguer. He always encouraged me and never let me give up."
Lifetime, Leroy Burbach appeared in 517 games, hurled 3762.2 innings and put up a 3.42 ERA. He retired at the age of 40.
His beautiful bronze plaque on the wall said it all: 553 saves, 98 wins, and a 3.06 ERA. Those stats got Otto Orf elected to the SIM Baseball League Hall of Fame, and today the bullpen star gained his rightful place among the baseball legends.
In a jovial mood, Orf said in his induction speech, "I especially want to thank all the starting pitchers who couldn't go nine innings...they got me here."
Otto Orf finished his career at the age of 41. In 1164 games, he pitched 1239.2 innings, struck out 1214 batters, walked 521, and had a 98-97 won-lost mark.

2048 UL Hurler Of The Year 2052 UL Hurler Of The Year 2057 SIMBL Champion 9-Time All-Star 6-Time Pitcher Of The Month
Marc Jackson was inducted into the SIM Baseball League Hall of Fame today. Present at his induction ceremony were several former managers who had glowing words to say about baseball's newest immortal.
"He is the only man I've ever seen pitch a shutout on a day when he had absolutely nothing."
"Marc pitched as well as he had to. He didn't worry about his ERA. He pitched to win. He was businesslike and he reacted to the score, so he didn't mind giving up a run or two. When it got close, he was tougher."
"To be a successful manager, you have to have faith in God above and a Marc Jackson on the mound."
The #1 overall pick of the 2041 SIMBL Draft won the Union League Hurler Of The Year Award in the 2048 and 2052 seasons with Texas and was a nine-time All-Star. He also had a big hand in helping Cleveland win the 2057 SIMBL Coveted Cup Championship Series.
The dominating right hander won at least 15 games in a season nine times, 16+ games six times, 17 or more games five times, 18+ games three times and won 20+ games once. Jackson won 17 or more games for four consecutive seasons from 2051 through 2054 all the while leading the SIMBL in innings pitched all of those four seasons as well. He led his league in a major single-season statistic 40 times in his Hall Of Fame career.
Jackson retired at the age of 40. During his fabulous career he put up a 226-197 won-lost record with 3783 strikeouts in 4034.1 innings and compiled an impressive 3.41 ERA.

The SIM Baseball League Hall of Fame just added a fine second baseman and hitter to its number. The newest member of baseball's most elite group is Cesar Cortez, who retired at the age of 42.
"I always knew I was good enough to play, but the Hall of Fame was one of the few things I never even dreamed of," said Cortez at his induction ceremony. "For me to focus a lot on the individual, that's not the way I learned to play the game. Baseball is a team game. You win as a team, you lose as team. You also do so many things together, but it is not an 'I' thing."
The #8 overall pick of the 2036 SIMBL Draft by Asheville was an eight-time All-Star and helped the Smokies win the 2040 SIMBL Coveted Cup Championship Series. He was also named Most Valuable Player of the 2040 Syndicate League Championship Series en route to the 2040 SIMBL championship.
During his illustrious career, Cortez had 330 home runs among his 2770 hits, while batting .282. He played in 2482 games, scored 1398 runs and knocked in 1218 runs.

Career Statistics To Be Posted Here Shortly
Good relievers can often go unappreciated and unnoticed. That was not the case today when Luis Martinez was inducted into the SIM Baseball League Hall of Fame. He will go down in history as one of the more dominant relievers of his generation and in SIMBL history.
Martinez was 39 when he retired from baseball after a brief but illustrious 13-year career with Oregon, Calgary and Bend. Few relief pitchers in league history have been as dominant as Martinez was from 2019 through 2031.
Speaking at his induction, one of his managers observed, "A guy who throws what he intends to throw, that's the definition of a good pitcher. That's why Luis was such a great pitcher."
The 2026 Union League Middle Reliever Of The Year and five-time All-Star's 2.38 career earned run average lists second all-time among all qualifying pitchers in SIMBL history. Martinez was instrumental in helping Calgary win SIMBL championships in 2023 and 2025.
In an illustrious career Martinez nailed down 175 saves, appeared in 856 games, fashioned a 69-61 won-loss record with a 2.38 ERA, and had 1274 strikeouts in 1094.2 innings.

During his tenure in the SIM Baseball League Popeye Parrish was nothing but class, on the field and off the field. Now he is part of the SIMBL Hall of Fame class of 2062, having been elected by 100.0% of eligible voters in his first time on the ballot for SIMBL GMs.
Lifetime, Parrish hit for a .282 average and totaled 3620 hits, 568 home runs and 1880 RBIs- one of only six players in league history with 1850 career RBIs. His career featured rankings in many of the league's all-time Top 5 and Top 10 lists. Upon his retirement, Parrish was one of only 9 players to finish their SIMBL careers with 500 home runs and 500 doubles.
Parrish was one of the SIMBL's all-time marquee players being selected to the SIMBL All-Star Game fourteen times which is tied for the third-most in league history.
Parrish, who hit .348 with a 1.025 OPS in 17 postseason games in leading the former Westbury Cannons (now the Boston Patriots) to the 2044 SIMBL championship, finished in the top ten of all major career statistics in his 23-year career. The #4 overall pick of the 2038 SIMBL Draft finished 5th in hits, 11th in home runs, 6th in RBI, 3rd in WAR, 2nd in walks, 4th in runs scored and 3rd in total bases. The first-ballot Hall Of Famer played the second-most games the SIMBL's 58-season history.
The fine third baseman was officially inducted today and took his place among baseball's best. He retired in 2061 at the age of 42.
One of his friends and former teammates told the audience, "The greatest thing he taught me was on my first day in the big leagues -- it was the hustle. He hit two one-hoppers to the pitcher and ran as hard as he could to first base. Popeye set a great example for me to model my career. His hustle and desire -- those were the little things that stood out for me. Plus he's one of the best hitters I've ever played with."
In his speech Parrish expressed his thanks and gratitude to the many people who helped make this wonderful day possible. "I have been truly blessed. I have been able to do something I love and get paid very well for it. There was no place that I ever wanted to be but on the baseball diamond every day doing what I love."

There is a new statue in the SIM Baseball League Hall of Fame. It belongs to longtime San Diego ace Mark Sipp. The star pitcher was inducted this past weekend. All it took to get there was 239 wins."I always dreamed of being a SIM Baseball League player, but I never dreamed of being in the Hall of Fame," Sipp said, "I could have never envisioned myself standing next to my childhood idols and yet here I am. And to the Hall of Famers sitting behind me, I am truly humbled and in awe of standing here in front of you."
In his career, Mark Sipp, who is a nine-time All-Star, posted a record of 239-152 and fanned 3572 batters in 3720 innings with a 3.25 ERA. He joined only First File Era great Bobby Grimes and Alan Alexander Anderson to ever win four consecutive Hurler Of The Year Awards winning the coveted trophy for the 2055, 2056, 2057 and 2058 seasons. He, along with current Bend Bandits ace and future first-ballot SIMBL Hall Of Famer Eddie Batista, dominated the 2050's decade as the best pitchers of their respective leagues.
The #1 overall pick of the 2042 SIMBL Draft entered the SIMBL in the 2046 season and spent his entire 16-year career in a Warewolves uniform. The 9-time All-Star helped lead San Diego to the 2055 SIMBL championship by posting a 2.35 ERA in 46 innings in 6 postseason starts. Overall, the New York City native aided San Diego to nine postseason trips were he was 12-8 with a stellar 2.94 ERA in 24 career postseason starts.
Sipp becomes the 13th #1 overall pick of a SIMBL Draft to be inducted into the Hall and is the sixth consecutive former first overall pick that was drafted first from 2037-2042 to become a SIMBL Hall Of Famer.
At times Mark Sipp fought back tears as he thanked his family and close friends for sticking by him when he had to overcome some difficult personal problems.
Summing up his years on the diamond, Sipp offered a hopeful message to the large induction crowd.
"I care for this game with my heart and soul. I dedicated my life to being the best pitcher I could be. You leave me humbled and grateful for this honor. I'd like to leave an offering of a message of hope. That is, with the grace of God, you can change your life, whoever you are."

One Of Only 2 Pitchers In SIMBL History To Win Hurler Of The Year & Fireman Of The Year Awards
May 1, 2062
The journey took a while, but he finally arrived -- one of baseball's finest hurlers, Ken Hunter, is now a member of the SIM Baseball League Hall of Fame.
Commenting on his election, one of his longtime managers said, "My idea of managing is giving the ball to Ken Hunter and sitting down and watching him work. He certainly made my job easier. And he certainly made me a better manager."
And pitch he certainly did -- Hunter appeared in 545 games in his career, tossed 3057.1 innings with 2940 strikeouts and compiled an impressive 203-134 record and 3.32 ERA.
Hunter joins fellow SIMBL Hall Of Famer Keith Patterson as the only pitchers in SIMBL history to have won a Hurler Of The Year Award as his league's best starting pitcher and also have won a Middle Reliever Of The Year Award as his league's best middle reliever. Hunter came into the league as a much-heralded phenom reliever and promptly won the 2046 and 2047 UL Fireman Of The Year Awards before gradually being groomed into one of the SIMBL's best starting pitchers proven within five seasons when he was voted the 2051 UL Hurler Of The Year. One season later, he helped the Enforcers to their SIMBL championship since the 2039 season.
Patterson is the only pitcher in league history to win all three major seasonal pitching awards: Hurler Of The Year, Middle Reliever Of The Year and Fireman Of The Year.
One of his opposing managers had this to say about Hunter, "Ken was one of the greatest pitchers I ever saw. He had knowledge, movement and form. It was wonderful to watch him pitch when he wasn't pitching against you. It was poetry in motion."
The newest member of the Hall of Fame retired at age 39 and will be inducted at ceremonies this weekend. He will be inducted as a New York Enforcers with whom he spent 15 of his 16 SIMBL seasons with.

"From the first time I saw him play, I knew he had the potential to be one of the best," Manuel Ayala's first manager said, "and the more I saw him play, the more certain I was that he would reach that potential."
He was just one of the people there at Ayala's enshrinement in the SIM Baseball League Hall of Fame. It was a celebration of the career of one of the shining stars of his generation. His former teammates loved him and opposing fans loved to hate him, but respect followed him everywhere, as evidenced by the large crowd at the ceremony. Not only were many of his former Ann Arbor Wolverines friends there, but opposing players and managers as well, along with a large throng of fans.
The man of the moment was overcome with emotion when he finally took his turn at the podium to speak. "This is one of the greatest moments of my life and to share it with all of you here is... simply amazing. I would just like to thank my family and all my teammates for their support during my journey here. Individual honor was never my goal, winning was, but this is more than I could have ever dreamed."
Ayala retired at the age of 40 with a .265 career batting average. He mainly played center fielder, participated in 2905 games, hit 605 home runs and batted in 1722 runs.

The SIM Baseball League Hall of Fame just added a fine third baseman and hitter to its number. The newest member of baseball's most elite group is Franklyn Borba, who retired at the age of 41.
"I always knew I was good enough to play, but the Hall of Fame was one of the few things I never even dreamed of," said Borba at his induction ceremony. "For me to focus a lot on the individual, that's not the way I learned to play the game. Baseball is a team game. You win as a team, you lose as team. You also do so many things together, but it is not an 'I' thing."
During his illustrious career, Borba had 604 home runs among his 2976 hits, while batting .278. He played in 2862 games, scored 1503 runs and knocked in 1751 runs.

Career Placings On SIMBL Career Statistics Lists Are At Time Of Retirement
3B Daryl Ryles San Diego 2005-2017
Career Statistics: 1st pick of the first round of the 2005 SIMBL Inaugural Draft .323 BA (2nd) 2100 Hits (9th) 561 HR (1st) 1581 RBI (1st) 8-time SL Slugger Of The Year 11-time All-SIMBL Team 11-time SIMBL All-Star 2-time SIMBL Gold Glove 2-time SIMBL CS MVP 1-time SLCS MVP 3-time SLDS MVP 7-time SIMBL Championships in 13 SIMBL seasons
Daryl Ryles was nicknamed "The One" and was the first overall pick of the 2005 SIMBL Inaugural Draft. Easily the most dominating player in SIMBL history, Ryles started his tumultuous career off by bringing an entourage of seemingly drunken and rowdy friends to the podium with him upon being announced as the #1 overall pick by San Diego GM Paul Ware. Ryles infamously announced at that moment that he would "break, no shatter, every power-hitting record for the SIMBL for the history of the league." It was long suspected that the 25 year-old Ryles was drunk at the time and it started a career-long rift between him and SIMBL Commissioner Christian DeMarco and the SIMBL League Office. Ryles was fined more than any other player in SIMBL history for his actions on and off the field culminating to millions of dollars in fines by the SIMBL, money he laughed off as "beer money."
The lowest point of the numerous rifts came when Ryles mooned the SIMBL Commish on the field prompting a record fine levied at the time. Ryles also engaged in a careers-long rivalry through the SIMBL press with former Jacksonville and Chicago superstar Eddie Meas which got pretty nasty at some points. In between setting all SIMBL offensive records and winning eight SL MVP awards, Ryles led the Warewolves to seven SIMBL championships in his 13-season career and played his whole career in San Diego. One of only four players to achieve 2000 hits, 300 HR and 1000 RBI in his SIMBL career. As much as Ryles wasn't desired off the field, he backed everything up on the field. No other player came close to matching his numbers and many SIMBL pundits don't think any other player ever will. He remains the only player in SIMBL history to achieve 400 and 500 home runs and also 1500 RBI. SIMBL career leader in HR, RBI, walks and runs scored, OPS, slugging percentage, on base percentage, and SIMBL career leader in postseason runs scored, home runs, RBI and several other categories.
Ryles was also the most dominating postseason player of his era and holds most SIMBL career postseason offensive records. He led San Diego to seven SIMBL championships being a two-time MVP of the SIMBL Coveted Cup Championship Series, a one-time SLCS MVP and three-time SLDS MVP.
2B Lucas Espitia San Diego 2005-2016 Birmingham 2016-2017 New Orleans 2018
Career Statistics: 24th pick of the 2nd round of the 2005 SIMBL Inaugural Draft .297 BA 2557 Hits (1st) 1773 R (1st) 1305 BB (3rd) 236 HR (20th) 64 3B (8th) 1028 RBI (12th) 833 SB (1st) .827 OPS 2-time All-SIMBL 4-time SIMBL All-Star 2-time SIMBL Gold Glove 7-time SIMBL Championships 1-time SLCS MVP 2-time SLDS MVP in 14 SIMBL seasons
Lucas Espitia was a stalwart as San Diego's second baseman for eleven and a half seasons and the hero of the 2014 SIMBL CS when he hit a game-winning walkoff HR to win the series. Espitia was the 48th player (2nd round #24) selected in the 2005 SIMBL Inaugural Draft. He played in 2178 games, the most games in SIMBL history and holds the SIMBL at bats record with 8622 plate appearances. He is also the SIMBL career leader in several categories with 2557 hits, 1773 runs scored and 833 stolen bases. He retired as the SIMBL's all-time career stolen base leader. His 1305 career walks are third in SIMBL history behind Daryl Ryles and Glenn Knapp. Espitia is one of only eleven players with 1000 RBI. Add in Espitia's top-rated fielding abilities and he was one of the most complete players in SIMBL history.
SP Pedro Ramirez Oregon 2006-2015 Birmingham 2015-2016 Chicago 2016-2018
Career Statistics: 197-100 (4th) 2.91 ERA (4th) 1.07 WHIP (6th) 2370 K (8th) 455 GS (2nd) 2748 IP (4th) SL Hurler of the Year (2010) 5-time All-SIMBL 5-time All-Star 1-time SIMBL Championship 1-time SLCS MVP 1-time SLDS MVP 5-time Top 5 in ERA SIMBL Record for Lowest Season ERA (1.84) SIMBL Record for Season GS (43) SIMBL Record for Season WHIP (0.80) in 13 SIMBL seasons Pedro Ramirez exemplified the all-or-nothing approach some players (and indeed some SIMBL GMs) have for the game. He started 40 or more times 9 seasons including 43 during 2014, a SIMBL record that still stands. He entered the league as a 25 year-old in 2006, which may be a bit old compared to most potential Hall of Famers but he wasted little time establishing himself. Before injury slowed him down late in his career, he was arguably the most efficient pitcher in the league and even rivaled Bobby Grimes in terms of dominance. Over his first nine seasons he posted WHIPs of 1.20, 1.09, 1.08, 0.93, 1.08, 0.96, 0.87, 0.96, and 0.80 where he tore through the SIMBL going a combined 163-62 and winning 20 or more games four times. Unfortunately, an injury in his ninth season meant that his last three seasons would see him go a combined 34-38 after his fastball lost its bite and the First File Era being damaged from the conversion from OOTP 6.5 to OOTP 10 that demolished most pitchers from 2016-2018. Most SIMBL fans would argue that he was over-pitched to be burned out at 33 years-old, but it is impossible to deny the string of amazing seasons he put together before his injury. It's also a testament to his immense talent that he was still able to contribute after coming back from injury. Ramirez was a five-time All-SIMBL First Team selection, a five-time SIMBL All-Star and placed in the top five in ERA in five seasons. Ramirez's 2.91 career ERA is second-lowest in SIMBL history among pitchers who have pitched at least 2000 innings and fourth all-time among pitchers who have pitched at least 1000 and 1500 innings. His 1.84 ERA during the 2015 was still the lowest in a season in SIMBL history at the time of his induction into the SIMBL Hall Of Fame before the 2021 season.
1B Taitarou Harnaobu Oregon 2005-2007 Toronto 2007-2011 Calgary 2011-2017
Career Statistics: 9th pick in the 1st round of the 2005 SIMBL Inaugural Draft .307 BA (6th) 2191 Hits (7th) 301 HR (9th) 1169 RBI (8th) 1233 R (4th) 72 3B (3rd) 595 SB (3rd) .876 OPS 2-time UL Slugger Of The Year 2-time All-SIMBL Team 7-time SIMBL All-Star in 13 SIMBL seasons Taitarou Harnaobu was maybe the best mix of speed and power in the SIMBL First File Era. Fans nicknamed him "Automatic" and it even caught on in his native country of Japan. Amassed 595 stolen bases against only 180 failed attempts while also slamming 301 home runs. The best Japanese player in SIMBL history and showed consistent longevity by accomplishing the rare feat of winning two UL Slugger Of The Year awards seven seasons apart, one in 2006 with Toronto and the other in 2013 with Calgary. The ninth overall pick by the Oregon Pioneers of the 2005 SIMBL Inaugural Draft. Shared a SIMBL-record at the time of his retirement with four 30 HR/30 SB seasons. Had 90+ RBI in his first ten SIMBL seasons and five 100+ RBI seasons in his career. Haranobu had three 30+ HR seasons but was more consistent with nine 20+ HR seasons. Stole 30+ bases in 11 seasons and had 40+ SB in 10 seasons. Flourished in Calgary's First File Era potent offense as a feared catalyst with his speed and high career .380 OBP. Hit .300+ in eight seasons with one of the highest batting averages in the SIMBL First File Era when he hit .350 en route to his second MVP award in 2013. After going to Calgary and spending the longest period of six and a half seasons with one team to try to win a SIMBL championship, Haranobu fell one season short when he retired after the 2017 season and the Clippers won their first title in 2018.
