The Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame announced that they will be inducting former Pitcher, Jeff Francis to their ranks this year.

From Vancouver, Francis played in the Majors for 11 seasons, most notably with the Colorado Rockies, where he was an upper rotation starter for three seasons (2005-07).  Francis also played for Kansas City, Cincinnati, Oakland, New York (AL), and Toronto, and had a lifetime record of 72-82 and 869 Strikeouts.  

As there were no official ceremony in 2020 due to COVID-19, Francis will be inducted alongside the Class of 2020, which consists of Jacques Doucet (broadcaster), Justin Morneau, John Olerud and Duane Ward.

We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like congratulate Jeff Francis for earning this honor.

A former Minor League Player of the Year, Jeff Francis earned his way into to Rockies rotation and would have a three year run where he would post solid Win/Loss records of (14-12, 13-11 and 17-9).  That latter year he would finish 9th in Cy Young voting and the Southpaw would also make history that year as the first Canadian to win a game in the post season and pitch in the World Series.  Injuries would pile up and he would miss the 2009 season ad he would no longer be the player he once was.  He would leave Colorado for Kansas City, though would come back for a second stint in the Mile High City.
