Hall Of Fame Players

#1 - Zack Russo [ID #36671]     OF
Home Town: Providence, Rhode Island           School: none
Hall Of Famer                     Bats (L)           Throws (L)           Positions: OF 1b 2b ss

Notes: All-time franchise leader in HR, Runs, Doubles, and RBIs. Drafted out of HS, Russo was a staple in the lineup for 15 years. A prototypical first baseman with massive power, Russo lead the league in power categories for close to a decade. A seven time All-Star and All-League selection, his induction into the Hall of Fame is much deserved.

#1 - Paul Anthony [ID #1899]     2B

Notes: One of the initial players for the Little Rock baseball club, Paul Anthony lead the team for 14 years until his retirement. The early years in club history were some of the more fruitful for the franchise and a lot of that success can be directly contributed to Paul Anthony. A six time All-Star, Anthony is Top 3 in nearly every hitting category in the history of Little Rock.

#23 - Shi Woo Jo [ID #116805]     SS
Home Town: Hwaseong, South Korea           School: none           Drafted: 2024, Round #7 by Abilene Patriots
Hall Of Famer                     Bats (R)           Throws (R)           Positions: SS
Games 1659, AVE .268, OBP .363, SLG .423, OPS .787, H 1695, 2B 494, 3B 63, HR 121, RBI 811, SB 500
Notes: Shi Woo Jo was the first acquisition for the Travelers organization that really started their ascent to the most accomplished period in franchise history. An 11 year player for the club, Jo was a 5 time All-Star, 2 time All-League player, and 3 time member of the Korean National Team. Jo leads the franchise in career Doubles and Game MVPs. Top 5 for the franchise in career Runs, Walks, and Stolen Bases. And Top 10 for the franchise in career Hits, Triples, RBIs, and OBP. Shi Woo Jo was the anchor for the Travelers for a long time. His inclusion into the Hall of Fame is well deserved as he is probably the 2nd most influential player in program history behind only the great Grant Mays - and all of this from a player who was dropped by a previous team and acquired through waivers. Congratulations to Shi Woo Jo, the Class of 2041 Little Rock Hall of Fame!

#67 - Grant Mays [ID #98163]     P
Home Town: Newark, California           College: University of Southern California
Hall Of Famer                     Bats (R)           Throws (R)           Positions: P

Notes: The greatest pitcher to ever take the mound in the Coliseum. "Money" Mays has been a multiple All-Star and Cy Young winner over his career. He was crowned the future of the franchise when drafted out of USC after his Junior year of college. He oozed potential and hasn't disappointed since he first put on his Little Rock jersey.
