This has been SUPER interesting and informative as I begin my OOTP journey as a 45 year baseball fan! I look forward to watching the Silver Wolves grow! And if your GM birthday is accurate, then we share a birthday, albeit mine is 11 years earlier! LOL
I'm not necessarily convinced he's unanimous but he's definitely first ballot IRL. I just don't think people will give him enough credit for his time in Japan to give him unanimity.
@@AvguardianGaming I saw your logic from the next video, looking at Ichiro's batting stats are what get the headlines with the hits record but to me its the 10 consecutive golden gloves in a row that turns him from easy first ballot to unanimous
@@J663B While I understand that argument - Ichiro was playing RF, not a premium defensive position. Some of his Gold Gloves were also dubious if I remember correctly. It's a hell of an accomplishment but not one that other players haven't surpassed or equalled without being unanimous. This is an interesting list to go over, with some no doubt HOFers and others who have struggled to make it in (like Andruw Jones, for example). www.mlb.com/news/most-consecutive-gold-glove-award-wins
wow, 25 looks nice. I haven't bought a new OOTP since 20. I might have to pick it up, I've always wanted to pick a team and manually play through the games along with the actual baseball season.

I'm glad you enjoyed it! It is accurate - I think you're the first person who's ever caught that. :)
Ichiro only getting 70%

Here's to a new MLB year! Looking forward to more content. Any lessons from the new development system would be appreciated!
We'll have to learn about it together!

That would be a super chill way to play the game!
LOL Joey Gallo. He of the sub-.200 average. Hopefully he'll connect to a few baseballs.
He's my secret weapon! I'm hoping all the swing and miss will give the pitcher a cold :)
Excited to start this series!!!
Thank you! Hope you enjoy! :)
Can confirm in the northern part of NC there are wolves
Thank you! I've only been to the east coast a couple of times, but never to the Carolinas
@@AvguardianGaming Red Wolves are a very highly protected in Eastern NC too
@rokular01 Very cool! I've never heard of red wolves before. Thanks for sharing!
Love the team name!
