Arizona Diamondbacks legend Luis Gonzalez will be inducted into the Alabama Sports Hall of Fame tomorrow and Mobile Sports Hall of Fame next Thursday, May 2. Gonzalez will be a part of the 51st class of inductees into the Alabama Sports Hall of Fame alongside seven other inductees tomorrow in Birmingham, Ala. On Thursday, May 2, Gonzalez will join five other inductees into the Mobile Sports Hall of Fame in Mobile, Ala.

Gonzalez attended the University of South Alabama, where he twice earned All-America accolades (1987-88) in 3 seasons for the Jaguars. He still holds South Alabama single-season records for RBI (80 in 1988) and games played (70 in 1987), while he is the school’s all-time leader in RBI (183) and ranks among the leaders in doubles (2nd, 51), at-bats (3rd, 685), runs (3rd, 176), home runs (4th, 32), walks (4th, 121) and games (4th, 193). He had his No. 5 at South Alabama retired in 2001, and he was inducted into the school’s Hall of Fame in 1999. His name also adorns the Luis Gonzalez Hitting Facility, donated to the University’s baseball program in 2005.

In 2015, Gonzalez was inducted into the Arizona Sports Hall of Fame and is a member of the Tampa Bay Sports Club Hall of Fame (2014), Latin American Sports Hall of Fame (2014) and the Latino Baseball Hall of Fame in the Dominican Republic (2014).

Gonzalez is one of only 19 players in Major League history to collect at least 2,500 hits, 500 doubles, 350 home runs and 1,000 RBI, joining Baseball Hall of Famers Hank Aaron, Andre Dawson, Lou Gehrig, Willie Mays, Eddie Murray, Stan Musial, Tony Perez, Cal Ripken, Jr., Frank Robinson, Babe Ruth, Ted Williams, Dave Winfield and Carl Yastrzemski, as well as Barry Bonds, Ken Griffey, Jr., Chipper Jones, Rafael Palmeiro and Manny Ramirez.

The Cuban-American played 19 years in the big leagues, compiling 596 career doubles, the 15th-highest total in baseball history. He posted a .283 batting average, 2,591 hits, 354 home runs and 1,439 RBI during his career with the Houston Astros, Chicago Cubs, Detroit Tigers, Los Angeles Dodgers, Florida Marlins and D-backs.

The five-time All-Star retired as the D-backs’ all-time leader in games played (1,194), hits (1,337), doubles (310), home runs (224), walks (650), runs (780), RBI (774), at-bats (4,488), total bases (2,373), slugging percentage (.529) and on-base percentage (.391).

For his contributions as a player and a member in the community, Gonzalez became the first former player to have his number retired by the D-backs during a pregame ceremony on Aug. 7, 2010.

One of the most popular figures in D-backs history because of the way he interacted with fans and his game-winning single in Game 7 of the 2001 World Series to give the organization its first world championship, Gonzalez begins his ninth full season as a Special Assistant to D-backs President & CEO Derrick Hall.
