Hall of Fame inductee
Officially recognized great
A Hall of Fame inductee is someone who has been selected for membership in a hall of fame—an institution honoring distinguished achievement in a particular field.
The term appears most often in sports contexts: The baseball Hall of Fame inductees will be announced next month.
Inductee emphasizes the ceremonial aspect of being formally admitted, as opposed to a nominee or candidate still under consideration.
