He was selected to a team-record 10 All Star games, plus four All League selections and one Gold Glove. At the time of his induction, he is third in career games played and second in at bats. Despite having such a lengthy career, he ranks near the top in the major rate stats including batting average (7th), on-base percentage (9th), slugging percentage (7th) and on-base plus slugging (7th). Wilkinson is highly ranked in most major counting stats such as hits (1st), doubles (3rd), home runs (2nd), runs (3rd), runs batted in (1st), walks (3rd) and player of the game awards (1st). He accomplished all of this playing more of his career seasons in leagues higher than level six than most of his peers in the Hall of Fame. Wilkinson's play will live on as a model of consistently great performance as long as the team continues to take the field.

Hall of Famer Hilário Gaytan

#24 - Hilário Gaytan [ID #167155] OF
Home Town: Bayamo, Cuba School: none Drafted: 2034, Round #5 by San Luis Obispo Turtles
Hall Of Famer Bats (L) Throws (L) Positions: OF 1b

Games 1327, AVE .267, OBP .340, SLG .425, OPS .765, H 1464, 2B 335, 3B 40, HR 150, RBI 692, SB 417
Notes: Hilario Gaytan had the ability to influence games in a lot of different ways. He could hit for solid average. He could reach base via walks. At the time of his induction induction, he is 10th in career BB drawn in franchise history. He could hit for surprising power. He's 16th in career doubles, 14th in career triples, and he reached 20+ homeruns in four consecutive seasons. He could play excellent defense. He won outfield gold gloves in 2040 and 2044, and is 7th in career outfield assists. However, his most standout skill was his base-stealing ability. He holds the single season franchise record (70), and the career franchise record in stolen bases. He was not only prolific, but also incredibly efficient with a career 73.8% success rate. When he set the single season team record in 2044, his success rate was a phenomenal 81.3%. This tremendous ability added a new dynamic to a team not otherwise known for their speed, and helped make him an invaluable leadoff hitter during what was then the team's highest peak of success.

Hall of Famer Yukinaga Sato

#33 - Yukinaga Sato [ID #212608] P
Home Town: Fukui, Japan School: none Drafted: 2041, Round #2 by San Luis Obispo Turtles
Hall Of Famer Bats (R) Throws (R) Positions: P

Games 710, W 71, L 45, S 47, ERA 3.02, BAA .217, WHIP 1.127, IP 1101⅓, K 912
Notes: At first glance, Yukinaga Sato may not be an obvious Hall of Fame player. He never started a single game for the Turtles. He was never the closer. However, if you look a little deeper, then Sato's value becomes apparent. Because instead of filling those roles, he was an excellent, workhorse setup man. His career ERA of 3.02 is the franchise best, as is his WHIP of 1.127. Unlike the other players near the top of those leader boards, Sato spent his entire career at higher league levels, never pitching below LL4. Sato racked up huge innings totals, frequently approaching and occasionally exceeding 150 innings pitched in a season -- nearly a starting pitcher's workload. As a setup man, a far greater proportion of those innings came in high-leverage situations in close, competitive games than a starter would pitch. Sato could almost single-handedly make the bullpen a strength of the team, and we might never again see his equal.

Hall of Famer Robert Morrison

#39 - Robert Morrison [ID #30569] C
Home Town: Trenton, New Jersey School: none
Hall Of Famer Bats (R) Throws (R) Positions: C 2b 3b

Games 1150, AVE .295, OBP .374, SLG .548, OPS .921, H 1316, 2B 289, 3B 122, HR 197, RBI 721, SB 403
Notes: Robert Morrison made the most of his limited time with the team. Despite playing with us for only eight seasons, he won two MVPs, seven All Star selections and one All League selection. At the time of his induction, he's first in career stolen bases, fourth in career AVG, second in career OBP, second in career SLG, and second in career OPS. He's first in career triples and has four of the top ten seasons for triples. He contributed in both offense and defense, posting the 2nd highest career caught stealing percentage in team history (39%). Although he started and ended his career with different teams, Robert Morrison had most of his best seasons with us. He was one of the great offensive heroes of early team history, and will almost certainly remain the best "hired gun" we've ever had. Although he parted ways with us too soon, our fans will remember him fondly for a long time.

Notes: Harvey “Righty” Lombardi is the most decorated starting pitcher in the history of the team.
