enshrinee
Honored hall member
An enshrinee is someone who has been enshrined—inducted into a hall of fame or similar institution of honor.
The term appears almost exclusively in sports contexts: The Baseball Hall of Fame welcomed three new enshrinees this year.
It emphasizes the ceremonial, almost sacred nature of such recognition.
