2012 HALL OF FAME BANQUET

“Welcome Aboard New Hall of Famers”

The Greater Washington Fastpitch Softball Hall of Fame held its 49th Annual Hall of Fame Awards Banquet on Saturday, November 3, 2012.  The banquet was held for the sixth consecutive year at the Holiday Inn College Park.

More than two hundred (200) supporters of fast pitch softball, including twenty-six previously inducted members of the Hall of Fame, and family and friends of the 2012 inductees attended to honor and celebrate the induction of eight new members.   The inductees were:

McArthur Bishop

Jillian Callaway

Paul Higgs

James ‘Bootie’ Holson

James J. Holson

Elvin Jackson

Deb Rohr

Cortez ‘Butch‘ West  

In addition, Hall of Fame Commission presented the William Kaiser Special Recognition Award to the D.C. Sunday Softball League for its contribution and commitment to fast pitch softball in the Washington Metropolitan area.  One of the charter members of the league, Burnett ‘Plook’ Childs, attended the banquet and accepted the award.

The 2012 inductees raised to three hundred eight (308) the number of players, managers, umpires and sponsors of fast pitch softball who have been honored by induction into the Greater Washington Fastpitch Softball Hall of Fame.

The Hall of Fame Commission thanks all that attended and who helped make the 49th annual banquet a success.  Their presence was important to each inductee and their support is crucial to the work of the Hall of Fame Commission. 

The Greater Washington Fastpitch Softball Hall of Fame is tentatively scheduled to hold its 50th Annual Hall of Fame Awards Banquet on Saturday, November 2, 2013, again at the Holiday Inn College Park. 

Plans are already underway to for the 50th annual banquet and we are working to make it even more of a special event.  If you have suggestions regarding how make this event even more memorable please contact a Hall of Fame commissioner with your ideas or post them on our web site.  We look forward to seeing you at the banquet as we celebrate our 50th year.
