Should James Paxton be in the Mariners Hall of Fame?

The Mariners Hall of Fame is a relatively silly institution.

Induction into the team’s Hall of Fame doesn’t hold the same weight as the National Hall and isn’t quite the same honor as having a jersey number retired. It’s more a recognition of company loyalty than anything else. Still, being in the Mariners Hall of Fame is undoubtedly cool and presumably means a lot to each of the nine current members. As of this writing, only nine people have been recognized as a Mariner Hall of Famer.

· Alvin Davis (inducted in 1997)

· Dave Niehaus (inducted in 2000)

· Jay Buhner (inducted in 2004)

· Edgar Martinez (inducted in 2007)

· Randy Johnson (inducted in 2012)

· Dan Wilson (inducted in 2012)

· Ken Griffey Jr.
