Both Kinsler and Blake will be inducted in a pregame ceremony on Saturday, Aug. 13, against the Seattle Mariners. They will be the 23rd and 24th members inducted.
Kinsler, an Arizona native, was drafted three times: once out of Canyon del Oro High School by the Arizona Diamondbacks in the 29th round; once again by the Diamondbacks in the 26th round when he was at Central Arizona College, and finally by the Rangers in the 17th round of the 2003 MLB Draft, when he was playing at Missouri.
Kinsler’s best season with the Rangers came in 2011, when he hit .255 with 31 home runs and helped the Rangers make their second-straight trip to the World Series. He finished 11th in MVP voting that season.
