ARLINGTON -- Harold Baines is going into the Hall of Fame, having been elected by the Veteran's Committee at the Winter Meetings in December.
He will become the eighth member of the Hall of Fame who played with the Rangers at some point during his career. Baines was with the Rangers for the final two months of the 1989 season and five months in 1990 before being traded to the Athletics. In all, 153 of his 2,830 games played were with the Rangers.
He is just one of many prominent Major League players who found their way to Arlington at some point in their careers but did not stay long and are remembered far more for what they did with other clubs.
