There's a new baseball hall of fame, of sorts, making the rounds on Instagram and X.

It's called the MLB Hall of Pretty Good.

And on Friday, Denard Span was officially elected.

To be eligible for voting, which takes place on Instagram, a player has to have had less than 35 career Wins Above Replacement and never won an MVP or Cy Young.

Span received nearly 90 percent of the vote to make it in.

In his three seasons in Washington, Span batted .292 with a .749 OPS and solid outfield defense.

He led the National League in hits in 2014 with 184, a season he hit .302.
