Congratulations Jim!!💯😃👍 Thank you from everyone in THE D for being here and for everything you did while you were here. Love you and you totally deserve this!!! Enjoy!!!❤
Totally Agree! Pinella has same accolades as Leyland & played several years as a successful player with a impressive lifetime .291 average. Leyland never accomplished anything as a player. I just don’t understand the reasoning behind the voting?
@@Gemnist98 still he should had won a world series with the mariners to be inducted to the world series.And he only made 1 world series appearances Leyland has 3 and he was super unlucky in 06 and 12
Well deserved. I dreaded playing against his Tigers during my younger years as a Mariners fan, because I knew he'd motivate his team to bring 110% percent every night. 1,769 wins, 9 playoff berths, 6 division titles, 3 pennants, and that incredible 1997 championship? You're damn right Jim Leyland's a Hall Of Famer. Congratulations.
Thanks Jim for that amazing 1997 World Series Championship....that Marlins season was special, and that Game 7, bottom of the 12th inning win was the best World Series ever
It’s been the hall of average for years now! It’s a popularity contest. If you got along with the sports writers you get in! Barry Larkin perfect example, good player,not hof caliber. But he got along with the sports writers.
Now, he's a great one. A great manager who like Bochy can bring a team from nothing into something (playoffs) in a matter of time. Leyland did it three times, Pirates, Marlins and Tigers.
congratulations to Jim Leyland. too bad about Lou Pinella. but what about Billy Martin? Martin won everywhere!! I dont care about the soap opera, and drama he won.
A manager that had talent in Pittsburgh and 0 WS, 1 purchased WS title from the '97 Marlins, tons of talent in Detroit and no WS. 10 seasons of the 22 managed were losing seasons. Davey Johnson had a better managerial career short term than Leyland.
It’s the hall of fame! Not the hall of average! He barely has a 500 winning percentage. I’m sure he’s a great guy and the players liked playing for him. But he’s not hof material.
It's about time Jim Leyland is in the hall of fame.
Amen!
Congratulations Jim!!💯😃👍 Thank you from everyone in THE D for being here and for everything you did while you were here. Love you and you totally deserve this!!! Enjoy!!!❤
So grateful he got to coach for my favorite team The Detroit Tigers. Wish they could of got him another one. Much deserved.
Congratulations Jim and well deserved 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏.
I’m sad Piniella wasn’t also inducted, but Leyland absolutely deserves this. Congratulations!
If Pinella won a world series with the mariners then he would had already been in the hall.

@@christhewolf4246 He was the manager of the 1990 Reds that won it all.

So well-deserved! He worked miracles with the Pirates when he was here!
Amazing and phenomenal manager. He was definitely a true definition of a MLB manager and a wonderful individual
Man's man. 😎🇺🇸🙏
Congratulations Jim Leyland well deserved. Great manager with pirates and marlins but the tigers. 2006 season was amazing
One of my favorite managers growing up
He certainly does deserve to be in HOF. Congratulations to Jim!!
Congrats Jim!!
Congrats Jim you deserve it!
Legend he smoked in the dugout during games
He certainly deserved it. A great baseball man
Well deserved
Love all the old school baseball guys. Congratulations Jim, well deserved.
You always got your money’s worth with Jimmy Leyland!!!
Congrats Jim well deserved
Well deserved.

Long overdue congratulations Jim Leyland
Congratulations Jim Leyland!
You can tell he is a man grateful to have managed the game.
Awesome
Good Old Fashioned Baseball Guy.....So happy for Jim Leyland, well deserved!
Mi admiracion cooperstawn
Thanks Jim for that amazing 1997 World Series Championship....that Marlins season was special, and that Game 7, bottom of the 12th inning win was the best World Series ever
Congratulations, Jim Leyland!
I was really hoping that Bill White would make it in this year. Hopefully, he can make it in on a future ballot
As an old soul person myself, I literally can't hate on Jim Leyland.
About time!!!! As a yankee fan, i wholeheartedly salute you!! Congratulations
His players adored him even more than us fans. He is RIGHTFULLY taking his place in Cooperstown. Congrats, Skipper 🚬 ⚾️ !
Congratulations Skipper. Met him in February at a Tigers game and he was such a class act.
One of the best coaches of all time 🫡
Long overdue. He should have gotten in years ago.
Well deserved. Congrats Jim!
That was a surprise. Managed over 3400 games but till a surprise.
And respect for the Hall goes down another notch. Career .500 manager with one WS title is a hall of famer???
It’s been the hall of average for years now! It’s a popularity contest. If you got along with the sports writers you get in!
Barry Larkin perfect example, good player,not hof caliber. But he got along with the sports writers.
@@jeffaddiego3740 Larkin belongs in the Hall way before Ozzie Smith does. His offensive numbers are better other than steals.
.506, worse than Don Zimmer
@@jeffaddiego3740Same with Harold Baines. Mickey Rivers was better in every category
MLB YESSIRE
Congratulations, Jim ! ⚾️⚾️⚾️
ROGER, The LOS ANGELES DODGER
Congrats Mr.Leyland!
He deserves it
A great manager and a great guy. Congrats, Jim. It's where you belong. You earned it.
Jim made bonds better because he cared
Long overdue
That Marlins team was bought for that one year. And then the team was dismantled after that World Series. Congratulations Jim...
Now, he's a great one. A great manager who like Bochy can bring a team from nothing into something (playoffs) in a matter of time. Leyland did it three times, Pirates, Marlins and Tigers.
“I’m the f”king hall of famer, Barry!”
Congrats Jim Leyland but Cito Gaston also deserves to be there back to back WORLD SERIES Championships for Toronto Blue Jays!
No way.
I grew up a diehard Mets fan i had to hate this man !!! But i respected him more than any other .
Very much well deserved. Especially having to deal with the most hated player in baseball at that time.
congratulations to Jim Leyland. too bad about Lou Pinella. but what about Billy Martin? Martin won everywhere!! I dont care about the soap opera, and drama he won.
Will Bonds attend the ceremony?
A .506 manager is in the HOF?
But not Thurman Munson?
im surprised he didnt want to go in as a detroit tiger
Only 41 games over .500 and just one world series championship in 22 seasons. Pretty underwhelming choice for the HOF.
A manager that had talent in Pittsburgh and 0 WS, 1 purchased WS title from the '97 Marlins, tons of talent in Detroit and no WS. 10 seasons of the 22 managed were losing seasons. Davey Johnson had a better managerial career short term than Leyland.
Dan Campbell is in the same vein. Great coaches who care so much make their players want to give their all for them.
Como
It’s the hall of fame! Not the hall of average! He barely has a 500 winning percentage. I’m sure he’s a great guy and the players liked playing for him. But he’s not hof material.
East coast bias? I'm totally shocked!
