Texas Spurs Star Starting Pitcher Pacheco enters Hall of Fame
During his fantastic pitching career <Álex Pacheco:player#9145> was hard-nosed competitor. Prior to an important game, he once told reporters, "If we lose today, it will be over my dead body. They'll have to leave me face down on the mound."

It was this attitude that helped to inspire Pacheco to such an outstanding career. Today he was rewarded with his admission into the American Federation Baseball League Hall of Fame.

<Pacheco:player#9145> retired from baseball at age 40 and fashioned a 177-130 won-lost record in his career with a 3.13 ERA. The gifted hurler appeared in 470 games, fanned 1934 hitters and piled up 2990 innings pitched.

One of his managers at the induction ceremony observed, "<Álex:player#9145> was a bulldog on the mound. If a man put a gun to my head and said I'm going to pull the trigger, if you lose this game, I'd want him to pitch that game."
