In recognition of his outstanding accomplishments, Mendez has been voted into the Hall of Fame, with 94.7% of ballots voting him in. "There is so much to love about this game," the newest honoree said during his induction speech at the Skyline Baseball League 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.

Mendez played in 2578 games, compiled a .296 batting average, hit 285 home runs, drove in 1334 runs and scored 1487 times during his career. |
