Honoring the past. Celebrating the present. Inspiring the Future.
Baseball is a way of life—a ritual that begins with a grandchild playing catch with their granddad or a mom or dad playing catch with their son or daughter. This is where the love of the game develops and is passed down through the generations. Too often the focus is on the professional leagues, but we forget where that many of these players came from; College. The work we do at the College Baseball Hall of Fame is to focus a lens on the College players, coaches and umpires and contributors. Although we look back and celebrate the glories we are also on a mission to inspire the next generation of College Baseball.
