Hall of Fame Honors Eric Burdine Wednesday, January 4th , 2023 Earlier this month the selection committee contacted Eric Burdine and gave him the news that he had been elected to the American Baseball Association Hall of Fame. At his induction ceremony, the talented and gifted pitching star addressed the baseball immortals and adoring fans who gathered to honor him. "The feeling I've had since my election is a feeling I suspect will never go away. I'm told it never does. It's the highest high you can imagine. I wish you all could feel what I feel standing here. This is my last big game. This is my last big start. This is my last time get the final out. I dreamed of this as a child but I never really thought it would happen... and now it has." Burdine retired from baseball at the age of 42 and left behind an illustrious career. He appeared in 527 games, pitched 3182.1 innings, struck out 2884 batters and compiled a fine 3.11 ERA. His career won-lost record was 220-135. |
