Jason Egan (elected in 2020 – 79.2% of votes cast)
The Deacon was unarguably the greatest reliever in MBBA history. He pitched his entire major league career in a Mounties uniform, debuting in 1997 and appearing for the last time in 2017. It seemed he almost always won the then named Gunga Oogolagunga Award for fireman of the year. Unusually for a closer or reliever, he also won the Steve Nebraska Golden Arm Award for pitcher of the year in 2009. He was on the All Star Team fifteen times. Jason’s 753 lifetimes saves is 168 more than fellow hall of famer Brendan Meyer. His best was 52 in 2005 and he topped 40 saves ten times. He struck out 1,496 in 1,417 innings, and he walked only 431. His lifetime WHIP was 1.14. His most amazing streak may be the 1999 and 2000 playoffs when the Mounties won their two championship banners. In those two playoff years he combined for 14 saves in 14 attempts and never allowed a run, earned or unearned.

Robbie Sargent (elected in 2018 – 90.9% of votes cast)
Known as Silent Bob, he went about his business without fanfare playing for the Mounties for his entire major league career from 1998 to 2016. He is second in lifetime wins in league history with 291 (second only to Steve Nebraska). Save from his mid-year callup as a rookie in 1998, Robbie started more than 30 games every year but 2008 and 2014 when injuries cut short his seasons. He was an eight time all star, two-time best fielder, and two-time winner of the Steve Nebraska Golden Arm Award for pitcher of the year. Robbie’s best season was probably 2005 when he posted an amazing 25-3 record with an ERA 2.21, earning a career high WAR of 9.2. He won 20 or more games six times. He led the league in innings pitched five times. While he never led the league in strikeouts, he usually posted well over 200 Ks and amassed 3,405 over his career (versus just 1,065 walks). He had a lifetime WAR of 98.2

Douglas Newhouse (elected in 2018 – 95.5% of votes cast)
Doug, known as Chow to his teammates, played his entire career with Vancouver. He was a rookie in 1996 at age 22 and played until he retired after the 2015 season at age 41. In that last year he still appeared in 143 games. A second baseman by trade, he shifted his tack to first base later in his career. While known for his fielding at second, his fielding improved year by year at first base and he was the Yogi Zimmer Diamond Glove in 2011. Doug was an eleven time all star and one time Sawyer Silk Silver Slugger hitter of the year (2001). 2001 was definitely Doug’s career defining season. He hit a lifetime high of .336 with 36 home runs and 115 runs batted in, all career highs. He led the league in bases on balls nine times and a career total of 2,050 walks. And early in his career he was perennially in the running for stolen base leadership. He led the league six times and ended up with 916. His best year for steals was 1999 when he had 92 (and was caught only 17 times). With over 12,000 plate appearances and 10,000 at bats, he had a lifetime average of .281, 447 home runs, and 1,444 RBIs.
