On August 12, Félix Hernández will become the 11th member of the Mariners Hall of Fame. That he would eventually receive the honor was a foregone conclusion: the Mariners’ pitching leader in career WAR, strikeouts, and ERA easily meets the criteria for selection, outpacing the field on the primary criterion for induction, on-field impact while playing for Seattle.
The six-time All-Star’s induction will be a three-day event over a weekend series against the Orioles. The celebration kicks off with a fireworks spectacular after the game on Friday, August 11. The main event will then be his induction into the Mariners Hall of Fame before the game on Saturday, August 12.
