Eitor Armijo, 2B

Armijo, an international discovery from the Dominican Republic, retires as the second best second baseman behind Nic Wiener and the one with the most career hits and doubles. He ranks 9th all-time in stolen bases. Almost his entire career was spent with the Orioles with the exception of 1929 with the Devil Rays. He won three MVP awards, three gold gloves, four silver sluggers, and went to 5 all-star games. He was 1929 AL League Championship Series MVP in the Orioles World Series season.

Rush Hemmes, 2B

Hemmes slots in just behind Armijo as the third best second baseman of all-time. He was drafted 9th overall out of Georgetown in 1914 by the Indians and spent parts of 13 seasons with the team before finishing his career with the Marlins. He won one MVP, Rookie of the Year, two World Series, a Division Series MVP, three gold gloves, and 5 silver sluggers. He was selected to 9 all-star games.

Thomas Hagan, CF

In a league history full of legendary CF play, Hagan's career holds its own. Aiden Shelton has clearly been the top tier, but Hagan fits firmly in the next category with Brantley Kriegel and Yun-ho Chun. He was drafted 5th overall in 1913 out of Edenton Holmes, reaching #1 prospect status in 1917. He won two MVPs, Rookie of the Year, one gold glove, four silver sluggers, went to 7 all-star games, won three World Series, and was an NL Division Series MVP and World Series MVP. All of his major league stats come with the Atlanta Braves.

Career Stats: 8757 PA, 2326 H, 105 HR, 331 SB, .353 wOBA, 117 wRC+, -34.9 ZR, 50.4 WAR, 51 JAWS

Deion Lee, 3B

Unlike the other elected hall of famers this year, Lee moved around to quite a few teams in his career - Arizona, Boston, Cleveland, Colorado, Toronto, and Los Angeles Angels. His talent played everywhere though. He was drafted 4th overall out of Loyola Marymount in 1912 and won Rookie of the Year in 1914. He also won three gold gloves, two silver sluggers, and one World Series. He was a 2-time all-star.

Career Stats: 10152 PA, 2515 H, 99 HR, 413 SB, .336 wOBA, 108 wRC+, 43.9 ZR, 47.6 WAR, 41 JAWS

Thomas Garrett, RHP

Garrett had quite a few good seasons but didn't quite have the longevity for the Hall. He won the 1923 AL Pitcher of the Year and was a 2-time World Series Champ. He also won a gold glove and went to three all-star games.

Career Stats: 2893 IP, 840 BB, 927 K, 3.43 FIP, 96 FIP-, 43.5 WAR, 51.3 JAWS
