Julio Franco had a long and storied career in baseball, playing all over the world for nearly three decades.  Franco would have his best years in MLB playing for the Texas Rangers where he would be a three-time All-Star and record his only 200 hit season.  Franco also won the Silver Slugger Award three times with Texas and the 1991 Batting Title.  As a Ranger, Franco had 725 Hits and batted .307.

We here at Notinhalloffame.com thought it would be fun to take a look at the major awards in North American team sports and see how it translates into Hall of Fame potential.

Needless to say, different awards in different sports yield hall of fame potential.  In basketball, the team sport with the least amount of players on a roster, the dividend for greatness much higher.  In baseball, it is not as much as a great individual season does not have the same impact.

If Baseball truly is an International game, then we would like to name Julio Franco as its Global Ambassador.
