Michael Nolan for Yonkers Sports Hall of Fame!

The City of Yonkers is accepting nominations for the Sports Hall of Fame and we would like to get Michael Nolan inducted into it. The only problem is one of the requirements for somebody to be inducted into the Sports Hall of Fame is to either be 55 years old or be retired for 5 years but sadly and unfortunately Michael won't be able to reach that age.

Michael was drafted out of Yonkers into the MLB by the Oakland Athletics in 2014 which not many people from Yonkers have the honor, was a great basketball player and actually had a workout for an NBA scout, won the Yonkers dunk contest, his jerseys were retired in Saunders High School and will never be worn again, coached and help many children in Yonkers, a scholarship in the Yonkers public school system was created in his memory, Michael played on a team called the Sandhogs and pitched against the U.S Olympic team, was scouted by 13 Major League Baseball teams since he was in high school, was honored by Mariano Rivera, honored by the Yankees and Oakland Athletics on the field of Yankee Stadium before a game, and the list can go on and on.

Michael was an amazing person that was very gifted person and was loved by many not just in Yonkers but all over the country. The signatures for this petition would show the amount of support for Mike to be inducted into the Hall of Fame and that the age and years retired requirements should be lifted for him and that he should be an exception to this requirement.

The induction into the Yonkers Sports Hall of Fame would be and amazing honor to Michael that he has definitely worked for and earned!
