Kentucky Amateur Softball Association • Hall of Fame

The original Articles for the Kentucky Softball Association Hall of Fame & Honor were written in 1983 by then State Commissioner, James A. Moore, as an offshoot of the Kentucky Softball Association

The first Kentucky Softball Association Hall of Fame & Honor Banquet was held in July 7, 1984, in Corbin, Kentucky.

In 1998, application was made for Kentucky Softball Hall of Fame & Honor to become incorporated under federal non-profit statutes and was approved in June of that same year.

The purpose of the Hall of Fame & Honor is to honor those men and women who have played a major role in the growth and development of softball in Kentucky.

Through this year's Banquet, there will have been 130 individuals, sponsors, and supporters honored for their efforts and accomplishments by being inducted into the Kentucky Softball Hall of Fame or Honor

Anyone may submit a nomination for the Kentucky Softball Hall of Fame or Honor. Nominations should be submitted to any member of the Kentucky Softball Hall of Fame & Honor Committee.

If you would like a copy of the Kentucky Softball Hall of Fame & Honor Articles, you can contact the Committee secretary, Hank Bassett at 250 E. Michigan Avenue, Monticello, KY 42633.
