Ruiz Now Hall of Famer Wednesday, January 3rd , 2074 Leonidas Ruiz played baseball a long time and he played it well. Then at the age of 34, he called it a career. In recognition of his outstanding accomplishments, Ruiz has been voted into the Hall of Fame, with 100.0% of ballots voting him in. "There is so much to love about this game," the newest honoree said during his induction speech at the Pro Baseball Experience Baseball Hall of Fame. "I couldn't imagine anything greater than my first major league game. Then I hit my first home run. Then the other landmarks came. But nothing tops today... to think that I made it to the Hall of Fame." The legendary catcher put up some impressive numbers. Ruiz played in 1189 games, compiled a .285 batting average, hit 196 home runs, drove in 766 runs and scored 653 times during his career. |
