Alan Alexander Anderson has just become immortal -- the star pitcher has just been selected to the SIM Baseball League Hall of Fame Class Of 2039.

What a fabulous career he has had.

Anderson retires as the all-time wins leader in SIMBL history with 335 previously breaking fellow SIMBL Hall Of Famer Bobby Grimes' long-standing previous record of 313 in 2037 SIM 8.

Anderson was the 15th overall pick of the 2019 SIMBL New File Era Inaugural Draft by current long-time Las Vegas GM Carl Hannah, two picks after future SIMBL Hall Of Famer Julian Winfield.  Anderson holds several SIMBL all-time pitching records including wins (335), games started (619), innings pitched (4521.2), strikeouts (3703), VORP (1005.9) and WAR (117.4).

"Triple A" won six SL Hurler Of The Year Awards, which stands second to Grimes' eight awards all-time.  Anderson won four straight HOTY Awards from 2025-2028, then won two more in 2030-2031 with a fellow Hall Of Famer Richard Dicks Jr. preventing six consecutive awards by winning the 2029 SL award.

Anderson was a 14-time SIMBL All-Star, a SIMBL record and also made the All-Star team another record 13 consecutive times from 2022-2034 and again his last in 2036.  He led the Hustlers to the second SIMBL championship in franchise history and first for Hannah in 2031 with one of the most legendary postseason pitching performances in league history going 4-1 with a 2.51 ERA and 0.73 WHIP in six starts to the championship. He also led Las Vegas to the 2023 SIMBL Coveted Cup Championship Series in which the Hustlers lost to Calgary in extra-innings in Game 7.  Anderson was named 2023 SLDS MVP and 2031 SLCS MVP.  In 27 career postseason starts, "AAA" went 13-8 with a 3.31 ERA and 1.01 WHIP pitching in nine postseasons.

Hannah and Chicago GM John Bowden shocked the SIMBL by completing a trade that sent Anderson to the Hitmen before the 2034 season that teamed him up with Chicago's Jimmy Wagner and Joe Tarnowsky, both who were former #1 overall SIMBL draft picks, to form an unprecedented "Big Three" of a trio of three of the SIMBL's best aces in league history before being traded back to Las Vegas after the 2035 season to finish his career in a Hustlers uniform.  The move helped Chicago advance to the SIMBL CS where they stunningly lost to Dallas in the 2034 title series and to Westbury for the 2035 championship.

Anderson amazingly won 20+ games in eight consecutive seasons from 2024-2031.  

He won 16+ games thirteen times, 17+ games eleven times, 18+ games in ten seasons, 19+ games in ten seasons, 20+ games in eight seasons and 24+ games five times and 25+ in three seasons.  He went 28-5 with a 2.23 ERA and 0.89 WHIP in 2028 and set a still-standing single-season SIMBL record of a 1.66 ERA in 2030 when he went 24-5.  Anderson's 0.79 WHIP, .214 opponents OBP and .494 opponents OPS in 2030 are also SIMBL single-season records.

Anderson's career record shows a 335-156 won-lost mark and an ERA of 2.95. In 620 game appearances he fanned 3703 batters in 4521.2 innings and held opposing hitters to a .224 average.

His name will now added to the list of legends this weekend at the induction ceremonies at the SIMBL Hall of Fame. Anderson was 38, when he retired from baseball.  

The legendary arguments will continue on in SIMBL folklore on who was the best and/or most dominating pitcher in SIMBL history: Bobby Grimes or Alan Alexander Anderson.

One of his former manager commented on what it was like to hit against the new SIMBL Hall of Famer.

"When you think it's a ball, it's a strike. When you swing at what you think is a strike, it's in the dirt. He was a remarkable pitcher.  One of the likes we'll never see again in this league."
