[Tecumseh]

To open this draft, the Indianapolis Clowns select CF Willie Mays.

22 year career

.302/.384/.557/.941
156 OPS+ (6x led the league, carreer-high 185 in 1965)
3,283 hits (1x led the league, career-high 190 in 1960)
523 doubles
140 triples (3x led the league, career-high 20 in 1957)
660 home runs (5th all-time)
338 stolen bases (4x led the league, career-high 40 in 1956)
156.4 bWAR
1951 NL Rookie of the Year
1954, 1965 NL MVP
1955, 1962, 1964, 1965 Home Run Leader (52 home runs in 1965)
1954 World Champion
Inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1979 on his first ballot receiving 94.7% of the vote

From the Baseball Hall of Fame:

“If somebody came up and hit .450, stole 100 bases and performed a miracle in the field every day I’d still look you in the eye and say Willie was better. He could do the five things you have to do to be a superstar: hit, hit with power, run, throw, and field. And he had that other magic ingredient that turns a superstar into a super superstar. He lit up the room. He was a joy to be around,” said Hall of Famer Leo Durocher of Willie Mays.
At age 16, Mays joined the Birmingham Barons of the Negro American League. The New York Giants purchased his contract in 1950, and he was in center field at the Polo Grounds soon thereafter. Mays started off slowly, but got untracked and won the NL Rookie of the Year award, helping the Giants erase a 13-game deficit to tie the Dodgers at the end of the 1951 regular season.

He spent most of 1952 and all of 1953 in the Army, but in 1954, Mays showed his all-around ability, leading the league with a .345 batting average and 13 triples, while blasting 41 homers and ringing up 110 runs batted in. The Giants again won the pennant, and in the World Series, faced the Cleveland Indians, winners of an AL-record 111 games. With Game 1 tied 2-2 in the top of the eighth, runners on first and second, and no outs, Vic Wertz hit a towering drive that would have been a home run in most parks. Mays, playing shallow, took off and ran with his back to the ball, caught it over the shoulder an estimated 460 feet from the plate, turned, and fired. Larry Doby, who had to turn back and tag up at second base, was forced to stop at third. The Giants went on to win the game and sweep the Series. “The Catch” is considered by many to be the greatest defensive play ever.

Mays played 21 seasons with the Giants, and finished up with the Mets in 1972 and 1973. He hit over .300 10 times, en route to a career .302 mark. He was a two-time NL MVP (1954 and 1965), and a 20-time All-Star. He led the league in home runs four times, finishing with 660 — then the second most ever.

"You were always my favorite player, even though you wore the wrong uniform." -Dodgers broadcaster Vin Scully

 

[Vegeta]

The Hanshin Tigers are proud to select OF Barry Bonds.

.298/.444/.607
1.051 OPS
182 OPS+
762 Homers (All time leader)
2558 Walks (All time leader)
162.8 bWar

8x 40 Home run seasons.
40-40 Club in 1996.
7x MVP

The most dominant offensive force of the later 20th century, and arguably the second greatest bat in MLB history, Barry Bonds hit more dongs than any player in league history. From a 40 home run speedy outfielder during the early 90s, to a lumbering 70 Home run presence in the 00s, Bonds aged like a fine wine during his career.

While the roids are indeed a controversial issue, they were not uncommon amongst the league's athletes during his era. His ability to transcend the field by such a margin is proof that the latent talent was always there.​

What can you say about Warren Spahn that isn't reflected in the stats and accolades above? Imagine Sandy Koufax, with durability. That basically sums him up. An elite starter for almost his entire career, Spahn leads all southpaws in innings pitched, a testament to his workhorse ability. He is undoubtedly one of the top 5 pitchers of the post 1946 era, and Hanshin is proud to select him​
