The National Softball Hall of Fame is the ultimate goal for any umpire who aspires to greatness in the sport. For an umpire to be nominated to the National Hall of Fame the umpire must have umpires fifteen years and in at least five ASA National Championships, and have been retired at least three years. To date only three former Indiana ASA Umpires have achieved membership in the National Softball Hall of Fame. Those individuals are:
Indiana Hall of Fame
The Indiana ASA Hall of Fame was established in 1978 to honor those men and women who have played a major role in the growth and development of the Hoosier brand of softball.
For an umpire to be eligible to be selected to the Indiana ASA Hall of Fame he/she must have been an active umpire who has been retired for at least three (3) years and the umpire must have attained a state-wide level of fame. Any umpire who is elected to the afore-mentioned National Softball Hall of Fame automatically is enshrined in the Indiana ASA Hall of Fame.
