Amateur career

[edit]

As a member of the baseball team, Hallmark was a two-time All-district selection.[1] Upon graduation from Westbury, Hallmark enrolled at Alvin Community College.[2] After graduating from Alvin, Hallmark accepted a baseball scholarship offer from Rice University. Hallmark helped the Owls to their first 40-win season in 11 years. Hallmark was named First Team All-Southwest Conference following the 1995 season.[3]

Professional career

[edit]

The Kansas City Royals chose Hallmark with the nineteenth pick of the 18th round of the 1995 Major League Baseball draft.[4] Hallmark began his professional career with the Spokane Indians of the Class A-Short Season Northwest League,[5] where he batted .304 with four home runs. He was promoted to the Lansing Lugnuts of the Class A Midwest League in 1996. He hit .280 with 1 home run for Lansing.

Hallmark started 1997 with the Lugnuts. Near the end of the season, the Royals promoted Hallmark to the Wilmington Blue Rocks of the Class A-Advanced Carolina League after batting .284 with 39 RBIs in 88 games with Lansing.[6] Hallmark returned to Wilmington for the 1998 season. He batted .272, drove in 35 runs and stole 33 bases.

Hallmark spent the 1999 and 2000 seasons with the Wichita Wranglers, having a breakout season in 2000, hitting .326 with 10 home runs, 79 RBIs and stole 41 bases. His outstanding 2000 season lead to a promotion to the Omaha Golden Spikes for the 2001 season. After just 34 games, Hallmark was injured and missed the remainder of the season. He returned to Wichita in 2002, where his production saw a decline from his past Wichita seasons. He then played the 2003 season for the Norwich Navigators in the San Francisco Giants organization,[7] where he batted a career low, .235. He then retired from professional baseball at the conclusion of the season.
