Bert Blyleven Latest BLHB HOF Inductee
Monday, January 1st, 1990: He is one of the most dominant starters ever to stand on the mound and now Bert Blyleven will join the other baseball legends as a member of the Big League Historical Baseball Hall of Fame. He will be inducted this weekend.

Tongue-in-cheek, he told reporters at the press conference, "I want to thank all my teammates who scored so many runs and my fleet-footed outfielders, who ran down so many of my mistakes. Without them, I would have never made it to the Hall of Fame."

Then speaking seriously about his accomplishments and induction to the Hall of Fame, "It's like a dream... and yet it's something I never dreamed would happen. It is truly an honor to have your name and your statue among all of the alltime greats."

He retired at age 38 and in his legendary career Blyleven accumulated a 244-226 lifetime record with 3310 strikeouts in 4359.2 innings. In 600 starts, baseball's newest immortal recorded a 3.26 ERA.

During his 1522-game career Wilson has batted .290 and collected 1600 hits, 32 home runs and 410 RBIs.
Cincinnati Wins Lottery for MR Williams
Thursday, December 28th, 1989: Reds officials presented Frank Williams to members of the local print media today as their new reliever.

The deal, worth $5,595,000, guarantees the 31-year-old a home in Cincinnati for 3 years. It should improve the ballclub, assuming he plays to his potential.

Williams has pitched in 296 games over his career, posting 9 saves and a 22-14 won-lost mark. He has registered an ERA of 3.21, logged 446 innings and recorded 313 strikeouts.
