Mike Myers - Hall of Fame Class of 2013

The seed for Mike Myers' long and successful Major League Baseball career was planted at Iowa State where he excelled for the Cyclones from 1988-90. The lefty hurler was a Second-Team All-Big Eight pick in 1989 when he compiled a 6-5 record and tossed a team-high 62 strikeouts. The Crystal Lake, Ill., native earned Big Eight All-Tournament honors as a senior in 1990 before getting drafted by the San Francisco Giants. Myers spent five years in the minor leagues before getting a call-up in 1995 with Florida and Detroit. Myers soon developed into one of MLB's best lefty-on-lefty specialists, leading the Major League in appearances in 1996 (83) and 1997 (88). In 2000, he posted a 1.99 ERA in 78 appearances for the Colorado Rockies and won a World Series ring with the Boston Red Sox in 2004. He played a total of 13 seasons for nine different Major League teams.
