The SVL Hall of Fame was created in 2012 to honor the players, teams, and owners who have had monumental success in the Sandlot Vintage League. The Hall of Fame consists of four different categories for which players, teams, and owners can be honored. They are: Offensive Domination; Pitching Domination; Team Domination; and Owner Domination. There will be up to 2 entries each year into the SVL Hall of Fame.
Inductucted in 2012: Offensive Domination: Taylor Teagarden, Jacksonville Jackrabbits, Season 6. Taylor Teagarden had the most incredible season in SVL history. It was so incredible that it forced the SVL into serious rule changes, mainly requiring batters to have a minimum number of plate appearances in order to be eligible. Teagarden won the Triple Crown in Season 6, hitting .395 with
73 HR's and 193 RBI's. The HR's and RBI's are SVL records. But what is even more important is that Teagarden only started against right handed pitchers. He started 112 games for the season and came off the bench in 32 other games. He was 9 for 52 against lefties on the season. But against righties, he hit .421 and slugged 1.067. Teagarden had 504 total plate appearances for the season, just 1 above the required 503 it took to qualify for the batting title. Although Jacksonville did not make the playoffs, it was still a season to remember.
Inductucted in 2012: Team Domination: Columbus Lightning, Season 5. The Columbus Lightning, owned by Brad Kruse, was the most dominant team in SVL history. The Lightning won 109 games in the regular season, and went 12-1 in the playoffs to win the Season 5 title. Season 5 allowed each team to include 2 Hall of Famers on their roster, and Kruse drafted CF Ty Cobb and 1B Stan Musial. Cobb won the MVP in season 5, hitting .412, scored 181 runs and had 286 hits, all SVL records. Musial added a .361 average with 39 homers and 153 RBI's. The Lightning hit .290 for the season as a club, and also led the league in ERA. Chris Young was their leader on the mound, going 20-8 with a 2.67 ERA.
Inductucted in 2022: Offensive Domination: Barry Bonds, Littlefork Big Spoons, Season 18. Season 18 was to be played during 2021, the center of Covid-19.

For the seaon there was a complete new draft and Barry Bonds was selected 1st overall by Littlefork. Bonds went on to have an incredible season, hitting .381 with 101 Home Runs and 186 RBI's.
