Randy Mobley is in his 24th season as President of the International League after being conveyed the title at the Winter Meetings in December of 1990. He started work in baseball as a part-time intern with the Columbus Clippers in 1980 in exchange for graduate school credit. After completing his schoolwork, Mobley moved into a full-time intern position with the Clippers before being hired as an Administrative Assistant in September, 1981. Mobley moved on to become the Assistant Director of Advertising and Stadium Operations in November of that same year and remained in that Randy Mobley position until November of 1982. He held two other positions with the Clippers (Director of President International League Public Relations and Director of Group Sales) before leaving the club in November, 1985. On November 1, 1985, Mobley was hired to fill the newly created position of Administrator of the International Baseball League and stayed at that post until being elected President of the American Association and Commissioner of the Triple-A Alliance. A year later, he was elected as President of the International League. He retained his duties with the American Association and the Triple-A Alliance. After the Triple-A Alliance dissolved in November, 1991, Mobley continued in his role as President of the International League of Professional Baseball Clubs. During his post as President, Mobley has taken on many other duties including Chairman of Minor League Baeball Council of League Presidents (since 1992), Co-Chairman of the National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues/Major League Baseball Rules and Policy Review Committee. He is the first person to be given the Warren Giles Award (presented annually to a league president by Minor League Baseball). He was also the 2002 recipient of the Baseball America Minor League Executive of the Year Award. Mobley is a graduate of Otterbein College in Westerville, OH with a B.A. in Physical Education. He also holds a M.A. in Physical Education with a concentration in Sports Administration from The Ohio State University. Mobley and his wife, Judy, have two sons - Taylor and Reid - and reside in the Columbus, OH area.

INTERNATIONAL LEAGUE HALL OF FAME

Created by the International League Baseball Writers' Association, the International League Hall of Fame originated on June 12, 1947 when nine former players, managers and League officials were formally inducted into the Hall's first class. The induction included the unveiling of the International League Hall of Fame plaque at the League's New York City offices located in the Ruppert Building at 535 Fifth Avenue. From 1948 until 1960, a class of three individuals was inducted into the HOF every year. In 1961, '62 and '63, a class of one was inducted annually. For unknown reasons, no inductions were made between 1964 and 2006, and the roster of inductees remained at 51. Speculation is that with the demise of the League's Writers' Association, the selection process went dormant. With the passing of the only three-time International League Most Valuable Player (1953, '55, '58), two-time Triple Crown Winner (1955, '58) and IL Hall of Famer Glenn "Rocky" Nelson (class of '60) in October, 2006, no living Hall of Fame members remained. In July, 2007, League Directors unanimously passed legislation during the League's All-Star Game meeting in Albuquerque, NM, to re-establish the Hall of Fame. Former League Presidents Harold Cooper and George Sisler, Jr. were inducted in 2007, while 27 additional inductees were chosen by the Anniversary Committee and enshrined in January, 2008. 14 inductees were enshrined in 2009, while seven inductees were announced in 2010. Beginning in 2011, up to three inductees will be nominated by fans, media and executives. Those nominated will then be elected by eligible voters. Player
