Summary
Andruw Jones, the first player from Curaçao to be enshrined in the Hall of Fame, officially received his plaque on July 26, 2026, after being elected on his ninth ballot—joining Carlos Beltrán and Jeff Kent in the 2026 class. A dominant 17-year career, especially with the Atlanta Braves, cemented his legacy, while his speech honored pioneers like Hensley “Bam Bam” Meulens, his “brother from another mother” Larry Wayne Jones, and late manager Bobby Cox, who famously thrust a 19-year-old Jones into the World Series. Jones also thanked Joe Torre and Joe Girardi, celebrating a journey that inspired countless Curaçaoan athletes and proved that with grit, dreams can become reality.
