HOFers | Back to top
  1. Joseph Klee - 2004 inductee, 8 HOF points
  2. Significant contributor to The Outback Baseball League.  League founder and inaugural Commissioner in 2003.  League trophy named in his honor.  Guided Section 8 to a stirring 4th place finish in 2003 despite only spending a scarce amount of time actively managing his team.  Section 8 finished 2003 with 46 points, challenging the third place and show team, Ninja Devil Angel (47.5 points) until the very end.  Klee, the original ninja, now spends his time living the dream...

    In 2005, Klee came out of retirement and once again put on his baseball spikes to compete in The Outback Baseball League....

     

  3. Brian Pagliaro - 2005 inductee, 30 HOF points

  4. Winner of consecutive Outback Baseball League championships.  Managed them helm of league championship teams in 2004, 2005 and 2006.  Known for his shrewd managerial abilities, most notably, building the best young team nucleus in all of The Outback Baseball League (with the likes of M. Cabrera, G. Sizemore, C. Crawford, V. Guerrero, R. Howard) and a trade during the 2007 draft that had the Lead Pipe Locks Too in position to win a fourth straight crown.  The old adage that offense wins championships held true for Pagliaro, as both in 2005 and 2006 Pagliaro was two points from perfect scores in offensive categories, amassing 46 out of a possible 48 points each year.

    In 2007, Pagliaro challenged the validity of a trade involving league founder, Joseph Klee, and one of Pagliaro's staunchest competitors, Eric Waters.  Pagliaro questioned the authority and decision-making abilities of the Office of the Commissioner and as a result, Pagliaro was dismissed as a manager in The Outback Baseball League and the Lead Pipe Locks Too were contracted.
