What’s on Elvis Andrus’ Texas Rangers Hall of Fame plaque? See full list of honors

The Texas Rangers inducted Elvis Andrus into the franchise’s Hall of Fame on Saturday, presenting the all-time fan-favorite with a couple of fitting speeches along with the traditional bronze plaque.

Rangers fans in attendance or even those watching at home may not have gotten a very good look at the plaque — it’s engraved with the career honors for Andrus’ time as a Ranger, and there are a lot of honors. That text had to be rather tiny just to fit it all in.

Below you’ll find the full paragraph of text on Andrus’ Hall of Fame plaque, where the former shortstop is noted as the franchise’s all-time leader in stolen bases along with many, many other mentions of Andrus you’ll find in the Rangers’ record books.
