1968 Nominations
1. Mark Vance RP, Chicago Wise Guys (1950-1967)
http://www.simdynasty.com/player.jsp?playername=nobody&mode=stats&id=3758667 Had a excellent career as a middle releif pitcher.
2. Bill Plympton: C, Cleveland (1950-64) and Kanas City (1964-67)
2nd ATL in HR's(523), 8th in RBI's, 9-time All Star Starter and twice All Star Reserve,1962 MVP, not to mention his entire career at the demanding position of Catcher
http://www.simdynasty.com/player.jsp?id=3758771
3. Red Barberie: SS Saint Lewis (1950-9) and Baltimore (1960-7)
http://www.simdynasty.com/player.jsp?id=3758669
Barberie spent the first 10 years of his career with STL in the National League, where he racked up 8 All-Star appearances, 2 MVP Awards and won his one and only WS ring in 1957.
In 1960, Barberie was traded to Baltimore, and he immediately made a huge impact. Barberie keyed the resurgence of the Crabs and led them to the playoffs in '60, '61, 63, 64 & '65 and to WS appearances in each of those years (except '64). Unfortunately, he was unable to bring a second championship to the good fans of Baltimore - the Crabs lost in the WS each of those years.
Barberie was voted to the All-Star team 5 more times in the AL and won his 3rd MVP Award in 1963 (a year when he posted stats of .309, 41 HR, 162 RBI).
Barberie retires as the all-time HR and RBI leader in the FRL (with 543 and 1916, respectively) and he also finished with 3,085 career hits.
Oh, and he also played a mean SS - and he did that left-handed...
4. William Blake. CF Pittsburg, (1950-66)
http://simdynasty.com/player.jsp?id=3758676
He retired in 1966 after playing 17 seasons with the Pittsburgh Writers. Key stats: 493 HRs (5th all time), 1469 RBIs (9th), 2331 Hits, .528 Slugging (11th), 1 MVP, 9 Playoffs, and 4 World Series rings.
1969 Nominations
1. Greg Brown SP St. Louis Browns (1951-1959) / Cincinnati Storm (1960-1968)
http://www.simdynasty.com/player.jsp?id=3758656
Greg Brown retires as one of two 4-time Cy Young winners and was voted to 9 different All-Star games. He owns many single-season and all-time pitching records, and he is the only pitcher in FRL history to win 300 or more games. Brown led the Browns and the Storm to a combined 11 playoff appearances, 5 World Series, and brought each franchise home a World Championship.
A list of his achievements:
4-time Cy Young Winner (1957,1959,1963,1964)
9-Time All Star (1955,1957-61,1963-65)
#1 All-time in Wins (300)
#1 All-time in Games Started (660)
Single Season Record for Games Started (62)
#1 All-time in Complete Games (169)
#1 All-time in Shutouts (63)

#11 All-time in ERA (3.23)
#10 All-time in WHIP (1.15)

#2 All-time in Strikeouts (2800)
2. Ernest Hemingway SP Pittsburgh Writers (1954-1955) / Cincinnati Storm (1955-1968)
http://www.simdynasty.com/player.jsp?id=3758664
Before Greg Brown, Conover Able, and Jack Shea, there was Ernest Hemingway. The anchor of the Storm rotations through many a bad season, he still found ways to win and once Brown arrived became another study arm in a rotation filled with potential Hall of Famers. Ernest retires as a 2-time Cy Young winner and went to 5 All-Star games, including one as the Storm's closer. Hemingway was a part of eight playoff teams, pitched in two World Series and owns himself one World Championship.
A list of his Achievements:
2-Time Cy Young Winner (1965,1966)
5-Time All-Star (1962,1964-66,1968)
#7 All-Time in Wins (231)
#8 All-time in Games Started (491)
#17 All-time in Complete Games (79)

#19 All-time in WHIP (1.20)

Bill Plympton - C
Red Barberie - SS
William Blake - CF
Greg Brown - SP
Ernest Hemingway - SP
I couldn't pull the trigger for Mark Vance. If he had at least 1 or 2 successful seasons as a closer or as a starter, or maybe a season or two of ERA's in the 1.00-1.99 range, I might have done it. Congrats on a fine career though.

Vance - awesome numbers in his prime, and a long career. I'm not fooled by superficial stats like wins, rings, and saves. Give me a 1.06 WHIP. I'm man enough to vote for a middle reliever.
Plympton - I think 500 HR is an automatic qualifier
Barbarie
Brown
Absent a compelling career stat (such as 500 homers or 250 wins) I look for lots of Allstar appearances. I couldn't come up with a strong enough case for the other two. But they sure are good players.
