Providence Crabs Legend joins Hall of Fame Wednesday, January 7th , 2071 Santiago Benito played baseball a long time and he played it well. Then at the age of 35, he called it a career. In recognition of his outstanding accomplishments, Benito 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. Benito played in 1188 games, compiled a .264 batting average, hit 238 home runs, drove in 741 runs and scored 699 times during his career. |
