Word came down from IAL vice-commissioner Rob Moore on the results of the Illowa APBA League Hall of Fame ballot.
“Please welcome your new Illowa League Hall of Fame members:
Pedro Martinez (unanimous)
Ken Griffey Jr. (unanimous)
Carlos Delgado (7 votes)
Nomar Garciaparra, Mike Mussina, and Gary Sheffield each got 6 votes, just missing the cutoff, but will return to the ballot next year.”
It was a banner day for manager Chuck Lucas who managed both Martinez and Delgado and won five championships with their help.
Here are the official online HOF entries for each player:
You can see the whole list of IAL players (and manager) at the IAL Hall of Fame web page.
Congrats to all three!
