(#145)
Established September 1, 2022
Welcome to The Official, Unofficial Hinds Baseball Hall of Fame webpage for those who played at Hinds from 1973 through 2005. Our goal is to make sure that outstanding individual and team performances have a place to be remembered and honored.
We are just getting started. If you would like to make a nomination, use the link below. Please share with others players from those seasons.
Use this link to nominate your favorite Hinds Junior/Community College baseball players from 1973 through 2005. You can also nominate a great team and incredible individual single game(s), season or career performances to be documented.
We’ll also include an “Off-the-Field Wing” to the HOF, so as not to leave anybody out or exclude a great player because of his “off-the-field” shennanigans. 🙂
