IAL Hall of Fame: Rafael Palmeiro
Rafael Palmeiro |
Firstbaseman |
inducted in 2008 |
When Rafael Palmeiro was inducted into the IAL Hall of Fame nobody was better at driving in runs than he was, 1,779 ranked second to none. In addition Raffy was 2nd in games played & at bats, only Barry Bonds & Mark McGwire had more alltime homers, and there were only three players with more hits & doubles than Palmeiro. He played the bulk of his career with the Hell’s Kitchen Twelvetrees/Chicago Highlanders organization after being swapped from the Chicago Champions in exchange for Hubie Brooks. Unfortunately he retired one year before the Highlanders won the IAL Championship.
