No on Devereax. That's one that I had heard of only because he played in Lexington in the minors, but not for the team currently affiliated with the Legends. However his career was predominately with the team now associated with the legends.

No on Vaughn as well, but he was from arkansas! Whoulda thunk it?!?!

Additional Hints for non-HOF states:

North Carolina - Has played his whole career with one team and was active in 2019
Kentucky - Twice led the league in strikeouts and really looks like someone who was from Kentucky
Missouri - Also played whole career with one team and was a ROY and MVP
Arizona - Can form his name by adding two letters to a player already named in an adjacent state
Oregon - A true two true outcomes guy. He didn't walk.

Santo Correct, Albert Belle not in the HOF and a full 130 HR's behind LA's leader.
