I just got the best name ever.

I've been simming into the very far future. I'm in the 2250s, so I have the history of baseball from 1871-2256 right now. Nearly 300 years.

I came home from work today to see where I was and if anyone broke the all time hits and home run records. I saw that someone did break the HR record.

I see that the guy hit 900 HR and that he also hit 75 in a single year to break the single season record. (This guy hit 903 HR, including a 1.000+ OPS and 46 HR in 108 games at age 40 when he got a career ending injury of all things!)

Anyway, I digress; when I open up the single season HR leaderboards, the 4th guy on the list is Cy Young. Id do a double take. But no, it's true! A guy on the Phillies named Cy Young hit 68 home runs in 2255. And, looking at his career, he's a shoe-in HOFer. He's 29, a six time all star, 3 time MVP and has bout 470+ career home runs already. Not only a second Cy Young, but a second HOF Cy Young!
