2008 Hall of Fame

Mac Shelton - Mac’s first introduction to the Glacier Pilots was in the very early years when her dad, Jim Cody was an umpire for the Pilots’ games. In fact, her dad injured his shoulder on a Tom Seaver pitch. Jim has since passed away, but her mother, Jeanne still enjoys a lively game up at Mat-Su. After a departure from Anchorage for a few years, Mac became a part of the Pilots’ organization in 1989 and went on to become a summer parent in 1991 for 15 years, serving as Summer Parent coordinator and sometimes keeping up to 9 players in her home. At times, it must have looked like a Pilots’ intrasquad game around the refrigerator!! She has cooked countless meals, cleaned untotaled amounts of laundry on all the road trips, and has gone to Wichita each time the Pilots have gone to the NBC World Series. Mac is a self-professed “people person” and thoroughly enjoys baseball, the players, and the life-long relationships that are formed between summer parents, players and their families.

The 1991 Glacier Pilot's Championship Team - 1991 was a record breaking year for the Glacier Pilots. They started the season hot and continued to an 18 game winning streak. They took the annual Mayor’s Cup from the Anchorage Bucs, for the second consecutive season. Field Manager Pat Doyle, and coaches Kevin Smallcomb, Jack O’Toole, Lefty Van Brunt, and David Chadd led the team to another Central Baseball championship title and on to Wichita to compete in the 57th annual National Baseball Congress World Series. For the first time since 1971, the Pilots entered the championship game, this time against the Kenai Peninsula Oilers. Thunder in the Wichita area delayed many of the games, but in the final game, thunder was on the field. The Glacier Pilots beat the Oilers for the title, in some of the best play ever seen in summer baseball. Some of the records from that team still stand: Most consecutive wins, season (18); Fewest runs allowed, season (147); Most stolen bases, inning (4); Most stolen bases, game (4) by Eddie Christian. Records from the 1991 World Series: Most runs scored (13) Robbie Bark; Most hits (18) Frank Herman; Most doubles (5) Frank Herman; Most wins (3) B.J. Wallace.
