Italian American and IABF honorary member Mike Pagliarulo was inducted to the New York State Baseball Hall of Fame on August 15, 2021.

Pagliarulo, who was an instructor at this summer’s IABF Youth Clinic and a special guest at the IABF Cigar Dinner, played in the big leagues from 1984 to 1995 and helped the Twins win a World Series in 1991.

He was also a hitting coach with the Marlins for three seasons.

IABF advisory board members Dan Palumbo and Gary Perone were on-hand with Pagliarulo to celebrate the honor.
