\nAll-time he played in 2369 games, batted .297 with 454 home runs, 2410 base hits, 1340 RBIs and 1557 runs scored — stats great enough to be acclaimed a baseball immortal.<\/p>\n

Tarechorion *Gomdrol was officially inducted into the Tolkien Baseball Hall of Fame today. This was his 1st time on the ballot, where he was elected with 89.0% of the vote.<\/p>\n

At his Hall of Fame induction, the superstar third baseman told the audience the secret of his success: “I was born to be a ballplayer… I also practiced a lot. Sunup to sundown in the summertime my brothers and I would be on the ballfield. We did it every minute we could. Boy, I loved to play baseball. Still do, and still would, if I could. I always got a special kick on opening day, no matter how many you went through. I looked forward to it like a birthday party when you’re a kid. You think something wonderful is going to happen.”<\/p>\n

One of his managers summed up his career very well: “You saw him standing out there on the diamond and you knew you had a darn good chance to win the baseball game.”<\/p>\n

*Gomdrol retired from baseball in 2048, when he was 39. He wore a Misty Mountain Hops hat at his induction ceremony.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
