Clark's highlights include 11 All-Star appearances from 2010-2020, and twice was named to the All-League teams in 2017 and 2019.                
                   
Upon his retirement, Joe Clark was the team leader in virtually every offensive statistical category. Clark was the face of the franchise for more than a decade and a fan favorite for many. Without a doubt, Clark is the most influential player in team history, still having many of his franchise career records standing to this day.

Charles Larsen was born on July 2, 1987 in Rochester Hills, Michigan.
   
Larsen was signed by the Windam Park Colts on March 14, 2006. He spent a year in community college while training to become a major league pitcher.                
Larsen eventually made his major league debut in 2008, and spent the whole season as a reliever before moving over to the starting rotation. It is here Larsen became a cornerstone of the rotation, where he remained for more than 12 seasons.                
       
Larsen's career highlights include 5 All-Star appearances (2013, 2016-18, 2020).                
       
Larsen's statistics, at the time of his retirement, ranked first in wins, innings pitched, third in strikeouts, and top-10 in appearances and ERA. He was also one of two players to throw 2000+ innings and win 150+ games. Larsen held or was tied for the record for most wins by a pitcher in a season (19) from 2011-2025, when Francisco Becerra and Federico Gonzales both won 20+ games.        
               
Larsen is the first pitcher to make the team's Hall of Fame.

Hall of Famer Pedro Barrera

Home Town: Trujillo Alto, Puerto Rico           School: none
Hall Of Famer                     Bats (R)           Throws (R)           Positions: OF c 1b 2b 3b

Notes: (2005–2019)

Pedro Barrera was born on April 16, 1986, in Trujillo Alto, Puerto Rico.

Barrera was inspired to become a professional baseball player after watching Juan Gonzalez of the Texas Rangers. Gonzalez's position led to Barrera following in his footsteps as a right (and occasionally center) fielder, even if he was better suited elsewhere.
       
The Windam Park Colts signed Barrera on June 16, 2004, and he made his major league debut the following year. By 2006, Barrera was an every day player, and he ended up playing 14 years in total for the club.        

Barrera's career highlights include three All-Star appearances (2014-16). He also had a .342 batting average and 212 hits in 2008, both of which is still the second-best batting average in a season for a Colt/Bear.        

Barrera retired as the team's all-time leader in games, at-bats, hits, triples, and runs. He also was top-three in RBIs and top-five in home runs.        
Barrera is also the first Puerto Rican and first minority player to make it into the team Hall of Fame.

Notes: (2020-2028)    
   
Francisco Becerra was born on August 11, 1996.            
           
The then-Windam Park Colts won Becerra off of the waiver wire on May 10, 2018. Becerra had been on two teams prior to the Colts' winning claim. After two years in the minors, he made his debut in 2020. Becerra went on to win Rookie Pitcher of the Year that year.            
           
Becerra is the only player to win the Cy Young award in team history (2025). He retired first in Player of the Game awards, strikeouts, and WHIP and third in innings pitched. Becerra retired holding the single-season record for wins (23) and Player of the Game awards (14) in a season.            
           
Becerra was named to three All-Star teams (2022, 2024-25) and one All-League team (2025).            
           
After his release during the 2028 season, he played with the Pomona Wolves and finished the year with the Ithaca Titans, where he pitched for another four seasons.

Hall of Famer Ricky Meadows
United States   #87 - Ricky Meadows [ID #46985]     OF
Home Town: Tuscaloosa, Alabama           School: none
Hall Of Famer                     Bats (L)           Throws (L)           Positions: OF c 1b 2b 3b
Games 2018, AVE .274, OBP .361, SLG .460, OPS .820, H 1981, 2B 514, 3B 76, HR 227, RBI 1032, SB 2
Notes: (2006–2020)

Ricky Meadows was born on February 5, 1987 in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.                    
Growing up in a football town, it was always expected that Meadows would play football. Meadows wore #87 in high school as a slot receiver and punt returner.                    
       
In a shocking twist, Meadows spurned Mike Shula's offer to play football for the University of Alabama at the last minute when he was drafted by the Windam Park Colts in 2005, citing his desire to play a safer sport and being able to be legally paid for doing it. He also assumed there was some connection to the Indianapolis Colts of the National Football League, and almost quit baseball to walk on at a Division II school when he learned there was no connection.                    
       
Meadows made his debut the next year, playing in 20 games for the Colts primarily as a pinch runner, before returning to the minor leagues to develop his abilities more. He eventually made his debut as an everyday player in 2008, and remained on the team for 13 full seasons.                    
       
Meadows was consistently amongst the best in the league, earning 8 straight All-Star appearances from 2010-2017. Meadows is one of three players in franchise history (Joe Clark, Pedro Barrera) to appear in 2000 or more games for the Windam Park Colts/Scranton Bears.                    
       
Upon being let go by the team in 2020, he was second in franchise history in home runs and RBIs, and third in hits. After being used sparingly by the Louisville Cardinals and Cedar Rapids Royals, he retired at the end of the 2021 season. His statistical achievements still rank amongst the best in franchise history to the time of his induction.
