Hall of Fame Is In!
MADE IT INTO THE HALL OF FAME
Lawson Reiss: Reiss, a second baseman, debuted in 82 with the Spokane Warriors, and despite only playing about 14 full seasons, he really made it count, finishing with exactly 300 homers while adding 706 RBI, 163 swipes, and a nice line of .324 AVG and .656 SLG (1,113-3,440). Congratulations! Reiss received 11 votes out of 11
Alvaro Rubio: An inconspicuous 4-21 debut with the now-revived Peoria Destroyers in 75 at age 21 was not a forecast of what was to come, even though it took some time for him to get started, since while he had a solid first 10 seasons (191-565, .338 AVG, 48 HR, 28 SB), he didn’t play a full season until age 29, but he was quite the force after that, never hitting below .300 until age 41, and he had 10 seasons of hitting .340+. Overall, the 24 season vet amassed 1,418 hits, 240 doubles, 329 dingers, 914 RBIs, 145 steals, and a career of achievement. He received 9 votes out of 11.
