Locke Joins HOF Legends
Thursday, November 21st , 2069
At his Hall of Fame induction legendary pitcher, Jeff Locke reminisced about his baseball career: "My how time flies. It is only a mere moment from your first spring training game to your first oldtimer's game. But it a magnificent journey."
Today Locke was installed into the American Federation Baseball League Hall of Fame after his selection by the Baseball Writers Association.
Baseball's newest HOF inductee was one fine hurler. When Locke retired at age 38, he had registered 151 wins and 115 losses, struck out 2371 hitters, pitched in 383 games and compiled a 3.18 ERA.
Among the many people he mentioned in his induction speech was his first manager. "He gave me my first opportunity when he could have kept other people. I was lucky -- he was a Jeff Locke fan. You can't get in the Hall of Fame without your first chance."
