#1 - Caesar Fajardo [ID #115415] 1B |
| Home Town: Havana, Cuba School: none Drafted: 2024, Round #4 by Mount Prospect Skeletons |
| Hall Of Famer Bats (S) Throws (L) Positions: 1b of |
|

| Notes: Likely the best pure hitter in the franchise's history, Fajardo sits at or near the top of nearly every measurable stat in the game. He almost singlehandedly carried the offence during the legends winning 2036 season. It's a sad day letting him go but a proud day to enter him into the hall of fame! |
#1 - Ivan Juarez [ID #68314] P |
| Home Town: Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic School: none |

Notes: Ivan Juarez, all time leader in wins for the Missoula Polar Bears.
Juarez had a stellar career, compiling the second highest number of innings pitched, all time leader in K's, second in ERA, including the best single season mark with a 1.90 ERA in 2024.

#2 - Barry Livingston [ID #104461] P |
| Home Town: Augusta, Georgia School: none |
| Hall Of Famer Bats (R) Throws (R) Positions: P |
|
| Games 492, W 104, L 59, S 27, CG 3, SHO 1, ERA 3.80, BAA .245, WHIP 1.299, IP 1223⅔, K 683 |
| Notes: The only Cy Young winner in the JJNZ Error, Livingston was a Very Good 12 pot who other than his Cy Young season as a starter became an extremely reliable set up man in the latter stages of his career. |
#6 - Markus Hartmann [ID #256153] OF |
| Home Town: St. Gallen, Switzerland School: none Drafted: 2045, Round #1 by Newport Beach Dolphins |
| Hall Of Famer Bats (S) Throws (L) Positions: OF 1b |

| Notes: A single claimer 11 pot guy who was a valuable switch hitter. Even in his age 35 season at 87 SI was well above average in legends. |
|
#6 - Lenny Holton [ID #124604] OF |
| Home Town: Kenosha, Wisconsin College: Southeastern Illinois College Drafted: 2026, Round #2 by Manhattan Isotopes |
| Hall Of Famer Bats (R) Throws (R) Positions: OF 3b |

| Notes: Despite not having the typical build of a corner OF, Holton was a mainstay in RF and the top of the order through his career due to his immaculate contact and OBP ability. His excellent defense in RF further cements his spot in the HOF, he's one of the key guys behind the successful 2036 campaign. |

#7 - Joel Brown [ID #139343] P |
| Home Town: Tucson, Arizona School: none Drafted: 2029, Round #1 by Wheeling Catfish |

#8 - Maurico Fernández [ID #116741] OF |
| Home Town: La Romana, Dominican Republic School: none Drafted: 2024, Round #7 by Cincinnati Reds |
| Hall Of Famer Bats (L) Throws (L) Positions: OF 1b |
|
| Games 1337, AVE .293, OBP .355, SLG .440, OPS .795, H 1238, 2B 307, 3B 46, HR 74, RBI 482, SB 309 |
| Notes: Starting LF for a long time including the legends winning 2036 team. Extreme groundballer with excellent OBP abilities who led off v RHP for most of his career. |
|
#8 - Hank Cordell [ID #204975] OF |
| Home Town: Waynesville, Missouri Junior College: Crowder College Drafted: 2041, Round #6 by Yakima Monster |
| Hall Of Famer Bats (S) Throws (R) Positions: OF |
|
| Games 1752, AVE .274, OBP .347, SLG .525, OPS .872, H 1835, 2B 592, 3B 77, HR 314, RBI 1249, SB 359 |
| Notes: Such a great career and yet still likely only the second best pure hitter Boulder has ever had. Regardless, a career handling mostly CF, and both a cup and Legends championship, along with a Legends MVP means he's one of the very best we've had. |
#10 - Tatsuhiko Hashiratani [ID #164761] P |
| Home Town: Sōka, Japan School: none Drafted: 2034, Round #1 by Yakima Monster |
| Hall Of Famer Bats (R) Throws (R) Positions: P |
|
| Games 413, W 100, L 85, S 7, CG 2, SHO 1, ERA 4.29, BAA .263, WHIP 1.425, IP 1610⅓, K 1087 |
Notes: A career ERA in the 4's generally doesn't demand a place in the HOF, neither does a career 100/85 WL record.
2 things have got Tats to the HOF though:
2036, Missoula win it all in legends. Playoff MVP? none other that Tats with 2 elite starts and a 1.93 ERA>
2041, Boulder win the BB Cup, Player of the entire cup, and final series? Tats again! 46 innings of 0.98 ball including 6 starts and a 7/0 record.
Tats - average, unless under pressure! |

#12 - Casey Madison [ID #89211] P |
| Home Town: Los Angeles, California College: Fresno State University |
| Hall Of Famer Bats (R) Throws (R) Positions: P |
|
| Games 529, W 100, L 64, S 59, CG 5, SHO 1, ERA 3.49, BAA .248, WHIP 1.216, IP 1321⅓, K 540 |
| Notes: Originally bought up as a starting pitcher, Madison developed into one of the most dependable relievers in Missoula's history, his presence at the back end of the bullpen is sadly missed! |
|
#13 - Ricardo Soriano [ID #98226] 3B |
| Home Town: Fort Worth, Texas School: none |
| Hall Of Famer Bats (L) Throws (R) Positions: 3B |
|
| Games 1453, AVE .288, OBP .361, SLG .416, OPS .777, H 1319, 2B 284, 3B 9, HR 95, RBI 572, SB 15 |
| Notes: Soriano filled a gaping void at 3B when first bought up and despite struggling in his first couple of seasons put up brilliant numbers throughout his career. Claimed as a 12 pot 1-claimer in 2024, his 13 seasons as a Polar Bear make him one of the longest tenured players in the modern error, culminating in being part of the Legends Championship winning team in 2036. |
#15 - José Chavarria [ID #110624] P |
| Home Town: San Juan, Puerto Rico School: none Drafted: 2023, Round #4 by Yakima Monster |
| Hall Of Famer Bats (R) Throws (R) Positions: P |
|
| Games 206, W 83, L 65, CG 16, SHO 4, ERA 3.55, BAA .246, WHIP 1.280, IP 1308⅓, K 944 |
| Notes: One of the few players in Missoula/Boulders history who could call themselves an ace. While he never quite reached the heights that he may have been able to achieve, a career 3.55 ERA and 83 wins make him a solid HOF candidate. |
#18 - Enrique Prieto [ID #108274] OF |
| Home Town: Arraiján, Panama School: none |
| Hall Of Famer Bats (L) Throws (L) Positions: OF |
|
| Games 1146, AVE .275, OBP .327, SLG .432, OPS .759, H 932, 2B 246, 3B 24, HR 80, RBI 466, SB 234 |
| Notes: On the verge of being cut after an abysmal start to being a Polar Bear in 2028, Prieto barely scraped through the 2029 season before breaking out and becoming the starting CF for 7 solid seasons of elite OF defense and above average offense. |
|
#29 - Alfredo Marrero [ID #103168] C |
| Home Town: Palm Bay, Florida School: none |
| Hall Of Famer Bats (R) Throws (R) Positions: C of |
|
| Games 1031, AVE .285, OBP .360, SLG .409, OPS .768, H 1032, 2B 261, 3B 18, HR 51, RBI 466, SB 11 |
| Notes: Marrero's extreme groundball hitting ways have done little to stop him joining the conversation as part of the greatest C to be a Polar Bear. Filling a hole after a number of veterans played for a couple of seasons at a time, Marrero contributed 8 seasons as the starting catcher providing a cannon arm with well above average offense. |
