Alright Gentleman! Nothing but first timers on this ballot and it's definitely a respectable class. Please cast your vote below or u2u myself or dough if you prefer to vote secret ballot.
1st Ballot
[url=http://topindustrynews.com/player.jsp?id=11019674]Alan Dietz[/url] - 6 time All Star Dietz won 20 games 3 times as a Brooklyn River Cat including the 2013 season in which he took home the NL Cy Young award. Dietz also led the River Cats on an amazing pennant winning run that special season. The control master also led the MOL in WHIP on two occasions - once as a River Cat and again when he led the Cleveland Seawolves to the playoffs in 2019. Dietz finished the last three seasons of his fine 16 year career in Milwaukee with 212 Wins and a career 3.30 ERA, a mark which ranks him 42nd in the MOL all time.
[url=http://topindustrynews.com/player.jsp?id=10934229]Jarrod Sievers[/url] - selected by the Riverman with the first pick of the 2004 draft, Sievers would go on to play his entire history-making career under the Arch in St. Louis. The 11 time All Star Sievers won the NL Fireman Award 5 times, including a Cy Young winning season in 2014 which saw him record a 1.90 ERA and an astounding 63 saves that season, a mark which is the 2nd best single season total in MOL history. Twice earning World Series Rings with the Riverman, Sievers ended his career with an astounding 609 saves, a total which ranks him at 7th in the MOL all time.
[url=http://topindustrynews.com/player.jsp?id=10846348]Sweet Sassy Mo lassy[/url] - The journeyman and defensive gem of an outfielder enjoyed modest success the first 10 seasons of his career in Boston, but all of that changed when at the beginning of the 2017 season, lassy was traded to the Milwaukee Six-Pack where he would immediately win 3 consecutive NL MVP awards. During his 2nd MVP season in 2018, the 8 time All Star would lead the league in an extraordinary combination of categories: HR (38), RBI (138), and SB (42). However, the 6 time Golden Glove winner would go on to win his third consecutive MVP in 2019 with an all league leading slash line of .358/.426/.653 and lead the Six Pack to their first World Series Championship in 38 seasons. The slugger would next get traded to the Cleveland Seawolves and participate in playoff runs in 2020 and 2022.
Thanks guys! Please make sure and cast your votes by season's end.

Guys a few observations. Some of this might be obvious to some or all, and perhaps maybe not. Perhaps it's not important.
Alan Dietz and Lyle Held are extremely similar pitchers with similar careers and Alan Dietz is the answer to: What would Lyle Helds career be like if he played on good teams?
I think they were both great to have on your team but not quite Hall of Famers. So I guess that is a no to Dietz. I would change my vote to yes if others thought I was wrong about that.
Sweet Sassy Mo lassy: I did a fast look observation of offense from the the 50'-70's in Mel Ott vs the last 13 Years that I have been a part of and I think offense is definitely down compared to earlier eras. A very high percentage of the lifetime homer leaders retired a long time ago in Mel Ott league years. I think Mo Lassy was a dominant important player long enough to be a Hall of Famer. I vote yes to Boston Rebel Mo Lassy.
Question: Mo Lassy had his best years on Milwaukee but is considered a Rebel in Retirement.
Why is Handsome Harly Thomas (also with exactly 337 Hr's) considered a Rebel and not a NY Player?
Jarrod Sievers: There is no opposing player whose retirement I welcome more than Sievers.
I vote yes to Sievers

Sievers
Mo Lassy
@steelsmith retirement caps are 100% based on how long the player played for a certain team. If he logged more games for one team that will be what cap he wears in retirement.
