In April, the Fish Stripes community voted on which players to include in our inaugural Marlins Hall of Fame class. The combined staff voting percentages and reader voting percentages were weighted 50% apiece to determine the results. Most players on the ballot—from the “Florida era” of Marlins baseball—required 70% of the overall vote for election; players from the “Miami era,” whose main contributions came since the start of the 2012 season, required 85% support.
This summer, seven extraordinary players will be inducted into the HOF as members of the Class of 2020.
Miguel Cabrera
Luis Castillo
Jeff Conine
José Fernández
Mike Lowell
Gary Sheffield
Dontrelle Willis
The first-ever Fish Stripes Induction Week is scheduled for Jul. 20-24, at which time we will unveil virtual “plaques” for each player and much more.
