Legends Welcome Belasario to HOF
One of the best players ever, Arlon's fabulous center fielder Rocco Belasario, has received the ultimate honor for a baseball player -- induction into the Islandian Pro Alliance Hall of Fame. The installation ceremony, which was held today, included tributes from his former teammates. One of them recognized his unparalleled work ethic, another his "naturally pure" swing, and yet another, his love for the game. Belasario received numerous awards during his playing days, but he said, nothing can compare to being enshrined into the Hall of Fame. In a career spanning 3023 games, Belasario batted .301 with 3076 hits, 508 home runs, 1658 RBIs and 2116 runs scored.

For most of his career played in obscurity, but brilliantly. Arlon has been to the postseason only 3 times and has never come close to winning the Pro Cup. But Belasario excelled with 9 All-Star selections and 5 Golden Gloves. The swift Belasario hold the all-time IPA mark for stolen bases with 1023, almost 200 better than Jet Kazmarek, who is in second place. 7 times Belasario has led the Tycobbian Union in thefts. He is 7th all-time with 508 homers, 6th in walks and 4th in runs scored.

Belasario was 40, when he retired. He played 22 years in the league from 2005 to 2026. Belasario took the managerial reins of the Champions last year, replacing Gary Louis, who retired after 25 seasons.
