OKLAHOMA CITY, OKLA. (KOKH) — Tonight will be a truly unforgettable moment for four Triple-A Baseball legends when the Oklahoma City Comets induct them into their 2025 Hall of Fame class.

The ceremony will take place from 6:50 p.m.-7:05 p.m. at Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark, before the Comets play the Albuquerque Isotopes.

Former team vice president and general manager Jim Weigel, and former players John Poff and Scipio Spinks all played pivotal roles during the franchise’s 89ers era, which lasted from 1962 to 1997.

Under Weigel’s leadership for 13 years from 1981 through 1993, the team set nine yearly attendance records, including the single-season record in 1992 (364,673). Additionally, he, alongside his staff, helped innovate the fan experience during games and helped create the famous Dot Race.

Poff played around four seasons with the 89ers during the team’s affiliation with the Philadelphia Phillies. In 459 career games, Poff slashed .294/.378/.497, had 58 home runs, 98 doubles, and 295 RBI. He also had back-to-back seasons with 20 home runs and at least 90 RBI in both 1978 and 1979.

Spinks started 70 games for OKC across three seasons from 1969 through 1971 when the franchise was affiliated with the Houston Astros. He also led the team in starts, innings, and strikeouts in 1969 and 1970. Additionally, he owns two of the top nine single-season strikeout totals during the 89ers era. He also threw a no-hitter against Omaha in 1969.

Before achieving his current role as general manager, Kyle Daugherty joined the organization as a group sales coordinator in 2010. During that time, he boosted the team’s group sales to record-breaking numbers, achieved continuous growth in attendance, and set the minor league standard for fan-friendly experiences.

All four gentlemen will be inducted into the Oklahoma City Triple-A Baseball Hall of Fame.

This ceremonial tradition began in 2023 as part of the 25th anniversary celebration of Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark. Inductees are chosen by a five-person committee comprised of media members, baseball historians, and civic leaders who worked alongside members of the Oklahoma City Comets front office.
