HALL OF FAME
George Brett
15 Year NSL Career
Elected 2000, entered as a York
First Capitol
Eight time All Star
Four time All League
Selected in the 1979 stocking
Draft 4th Round
He received XX votes (XX needed)
George was the 4th round pick of
the York First Capitols in the original 1979 stocking draft, and drafted to a
club which already had Mike Schmidt at is 15 years. His BB/K ratio is great- 683/749, but perhaps
more impressive is his high rbi
total of 1183. One can argue that he was
on a great
offensive club as the York First Caps were, but likewise there were lots of
other guys in the lineup who got rbi as well. Solid in every categoy and a true leader of some great Yok
clubs.
He appeared in 8 All Star Games
where he was 5 for 20 with 3 doubles. In
the post season he was 35 for 120 (.292).
He scored 13 post season runs and drove in 11 in his 31 games. He had 10 doubnd a
HR in those games, walking 3 times while striking out 12. He had 5 post season SB.
His best year was likely 1981
when he batted a cool .352 with 34 doubles, 108 runs, and 83 rbi as well as stealing 16 bases
and smacking 26 HR. His best HR year was
1988 when he ripped 33, and he drove in more than 100 four separate
seasons. His 1980 year boasted 83 X base
hits and 215 base knocks for a .334 batting average. He left in style, batting .270 with 33
doubles in his final season of 1993.

Gary Carter
15 Year NSL Career
Elected 2000, entered as a Green Mountain
Canuck
Seven All Star Teams
Six All-League Teams
Selected in the 1979 Stocking Draft in the 10th
round
He received 50 1/2 votes (50 needed)
Gary was the 10th round pick of the Green
Mountain Canucks in the 1979 Stocking Draft.
Unlike other clubs of the era, Green Mountain didn't have a host of
All-Stars, and Carter did a lot of his damage on his own. He played his full 15 year career for the
Canucks, and has his number retired by the franchise in 1994. From his non-traditional offensive position,
he smacked 266 career HR and drove in 971 runs. His best season was 1986 when he hit 36 HR
and drove in 124 for a playoff club. He
had a better year in HR in 1981 when he smoked 41, scored a career high 96 runs
and drove in 114. He batted over .300
twice, yet slipped in his final years.
But he was a true cornerstonce of the Canuck
franchise for years.
He appeared in 7 All Star Games wher he was 2 for 17 with a HR. He did have 3 All Sar rbi. In the post season, he aeared
in 16 games, was 7 for 52, and had 5 doubles and 6 rbi.
A solid, if not spectacular performer for a
club that really never had that much offense, Carter teamed with Barfield, Dawson,
and others to give the Canucks their first tastes of glory with playoff
appearances in 1983 and 1986, as well as a Championship Series appearance in
1989. His 7 All Star appearances were
consecutive, 1980-1986 as were his All Leage honors,
1981-1986.

Cecil Cooper
9 Year NSL Career
Elected 1994, entered as a Cleveland Hit-Man
Three All Star Teams
Three All-League Teams
Selected in the 1979 Stocking Draft 9th round
He received 65 1/2 votes (50 needed)
Cecil was the first ever mem,ber of the NSL Hall of Fame, being elected in
1994. Although he had just 9 NSL
campaigns, he made himself eligible with a .303 lifetime batting average on
some incredibly potent Cleveland Hit-Men clubs.
In his 9 seasons, he put up huge numbers- 1376 base hits, 788 rbi, and 303 doubles just to name a few. He flirted with .400 in 1981, going down tot he wire before slipping to a .397 mark, the best ever
in NSL league play at the time.
Interestingly, he sole 50 bases in his career
and stroked 170 long balls. In 1981 he
was awarded the league MVP as the most valuable player in the league.
He appeared in 3 All Star games where he was 2
for 7 with 2 BB and 2 Ks. He went to the
playoffs with the Hit-Men for 5 straight years, where he batted .266 in 35 post
season games. He ripped 5 post season HR
and drove in 17, scoring 17 times as well.
His best year was that MVP season of 1981 with
the run at .400. With 239 hits that
year, he also pasted 45 doubles and drove in 121. He was tops in the league in doubles the
following year with 43, and was in the top 10 in rbi for 5 straight years, 1981-1985. Of course, Cecil, thanks his friends- the
rest of the Hit-Men teams of the early 1980s, as their offense was one of the
best in the league..

Andre Dawson
18 Year NSL Career
Elected 2003, entered as a Green Mountain
Canuck
Seven All Star Teams
Five All-League Teams
Selected in the 1979 Stocking Draft 4th round
He received 90 1/2 votes (65 needed)
Andre became the 11th player elected to the NSL
Hall of Fame with his election in 2003.
His 376 career HR were 2nd only to Dave Winfield at the time of his election,
and 1284 rbi were 4th in the
Hall. Known as a money player, Dawson
was a 7 time All Star including 4 in a row from 1981-1984, and was on 5 All
League teams. He was originally selected
in the 4th round of the 1979 Stocking Draft.
He batted over .300 in 20 post season games.
Andre's best year for batting average was 1984
when he amassed 203 hits and batted .321, but his best power year was in 1988
for the Mentor Motorheads when he had 54 HR and drove
in 162. He played 9 years for the
Canucks, including the beginning and the end of his career. In his first 14 years in the league, he had
double digit HR in all but one season, and drove in 100 runs 4 different
times. His 250 SB were tops in the Hall
on his election day.
Dawson was a stud player for some awful clubs,
including the early Canucks, which makes his record that much more
outstanding. Although his career was
sidetracked to 6 different clubs in the middle, he'll always be remembered as a
Green Mountain Canuck.

Don Mattingly
13 Year NSL Career
Elected 2003, entered as Lamoille County Fuzz
Six All Star Teams
Five All-League Teams
Selected in the 1984 Rookie Draft 2nd
Round
MVP 1986, 1987, 1988, 1989
He received 67 votes (65 needed)
Don became the 12th player selected top the Hall
of Fame with his election in 2003.
Although he had a relatively short career, he had the incredible
distinction of winning 4 straight MVP awards from 1985-1988. He was originally selected in the 2nd round
of the 1984 Rookie Draft by the Lamoille County Fuzz. In 32 post season games he had 9 HR and 34 rbi.
Don was lucky enough to be on one of the most
potent offensive clubs in the mid-1980s, the Fuzz of Lamoille County. He led the league in rbi 3 different times including a whopping 176 in
1986, when he also led the league with 47 HR.
Although he was only in the top ten two other times in HR, he had 7
years when he was in the top 10 in rbi- a true
measure of the great offensive teams he played for. Despite just a 14 year career, he drove in
over 1000 runs (1319). His career
batting average was best in the Hall of Fame at the time of his election.
Mattingly was a 6 time All Star which included
the 4 MVP years. While he is the 12th
player enshrined in our Hall of Fame, he will always stand out with the 4
straight MVP awards and all those rbi. One must note that he was selected in the 2nd
round of the 1984 Rookie Draft- yet put up Hall of Fame numbers despite being
totally bypassed in the first round. His
final season he was peddled to the New England Elite, but the rest of his
career (and rbi) were with
the Fuzz.

Eddie Murphy
Paul Molitor
21 Year NSL Career
Elected 2004, entered as a Cleveland Hit-Man
Ten All Star Teams
Five All-League Teams
Selected in the 1979 Stocking Draft-10th Round
He received 87 1/2 votes (65 needed)
Paul's play in 21 NSL seasons earned him a Hall
of Fame selection in 2004. He became the
3rd Hit Man to enter the Hall, joining teammates Dave Winfield and Cecil
Cooper. Molitor enjoyed playing in 45 career post
season games thanks to the great offensive Cleveland teams he was on. He was a ten time All Star including 6 of the
7 years from 1988-1994, and a 5 time All League team member.
Paul batted higher than .300 for seven straight
years in the late 80's to early 90's including a career and league best .335 in
1989. He led the league in rbi in 1992 with 145 and led the
league in hits 3 times, 1992, 1993, and 1994.
A serious leg injury cost him all of 1985, but soon after he began his
roughly 10 years of unparalleled production.
His career batting average stands at an even .300,
he had almost 900 extra base hits, and stole nearly 40 bases.
Molitor was a career Cleveland
Hit-Man although that almost didn't happen as he was selected in the 1999
Expansion Draft, later being traded back to Cleveland in the same off
season. He coupled with Winfield and
Cooper to lead the team to 3 titles in our early years for a team which was
unquestionably the best in our first decade.
His numbers in most every category across the board may be hard to
reach, as he displayed power, speed, and on base pct. throughout his wonderful
career.

Lee Smith
Kirby Puckett
12 Year NSL Career
Elected 2007, entered as a Parker City Cub
Seven All Star Teams
Six All-League Teams
Selected in the 1985 Rookie Draft 2nd Round
He received 76 votes (65 needed)
Kirby was originally selected in the 2nd round of the 1985 Rookie Draft by the Parker City Cubs. Although he played for just a dozen seasons, he was a career long Cub. Puckett was named to 7 All Star teams and 6 All League teams. He won the batting title in 1990 with a .329 average, and also led the league in hits in 1993 with 202. He finished in the top 10 in hits and batting average 5 times in his career. His numbers might be a little short when compared to other Hall of Famers, but injuries cut short his career and his 12 years were filled with big numbers. 400 doubles is impressive in just 12 years and he was also in the top 10 in rbi twice. He had a .303 career batting average and had 108 stolen bases.
Glaucoma cut Kirby’s career far too short, as he retired at age 35. There is little doubt that had he continued for 6-7 more years in the league he would have easily amassed 3000 hits. He was 19 for 64 in 16 career post season games with 12 rbi. Interestingly, Puckett was elected in his final year of eligibility- the first NSL player not to go in on his 1st or 2nd ballot. He jettisoned from 34 votes in 2006 to 76 in 2007. He becomes the 16th member of the NSL Hall of Fame. Not bad for an all too brief 12 year career.

18 Year NSL Career
Elected 2006, entered as a Green Mountain Canuck
Eleven All-Star
Four Time All-League
Selected in the 1983 Rookie Draft 1st Round (#6 pick)
He received 108 ½ votes (65 needed)
Wade was originally selected by
the Green Mountain Canucks in the 1983 Rookie Draft with the 6th
overall pick. He played for the Canucks
for seven years before being traded to New England for 3 years, St.City/Derby for 4 years, East York for 2 years, and
finally
He fell just short of 3000 hits with 2910, but posted a career batting average of .322. At the time of this writing, his average is 3rd highest in the league overall, his 2910 hits are 3rd, and his 575 doubles 2nd. His top season was 1986 when he batted .390 with 253 hits. For 5 years in a row (1985-1989) he finished in the top two in the league for batting average.
The twilight years of his career were nothing like the beginning, and he finished with the expansion Indiana Imperials. He still was able to bat .300 in his final year at the age of 42. Wade will always be best known for the 9 straight All-Star teams he made from 1984-92. His career mark of 1182 walks is 5th best on the all time list as OBP was obviously his forte. He led the league in doubles in both 1990 and 1991 with 48 and 54 respectively.
