NAGAAA HALL OF FAME
History
The legacy of NAGAAA is kept and passed down to future generations of softball players by way of our organization's "Hall of Fame". During 1997, NAGAAA initiated a "Hall of Fame" to honor the achievements (both on and off the playing field) of people and member cities in gay softball. The purpose of the North American Gay Amateur Athletic Alliance Hall of Fame (NAGAAA Hall of Fame) is to provide an historical perspective and perpetuate the history of gay softball and the Gay Softball World Series.

Any 10-year member of a NAGAAA league or association, whether living or deceased, can be nominated for the Hall. The nominees should have made significant contributions to their league and/or NAGAAA. Anyone familiar with a candidate can make nominations for the Hall at the winter meetings of NAGAAA. The living members of the Hall of Fame and certain at-large members vote on the nominees each year, based on the credentials presented with the applications. The candidates who receive at least two-thirds of the votes cast are inducted into the Hall at the awards ceremony of that year’s GSWS.

Boosters
Each year, new members of the NAGAAA Hall of Fame are presented with a polo shirt and a plaque during the induction ceremony at that year's Gay Softball World Series. The members are invited to a dinner where other Hall of Fame members attend and welcome the new members. For the first several years, funding for the Hall of Fame was provided by NAGAAA, but in 1999, the Hall membership decided to create a self-sustaining Booster Club. If you would like more infomation on how an individual or an organization can become a member of the booster organization, please click here.

Current Members
In 1997, NAGAAA inducted the founding fathers from New York and San Francisco. In 2001, the women's division was eligible to begin induction was included among the inductees in a ceremony held during the GSWS festivities.

There are currently 82 NAGAAA Hall of Fame members;
61 Open Division and 21 Women's Division comprise the NAGAAA Hall of Fame.

Please join us in honoring them for significant contributions to their own leagues as well as NAGAAA as a whole.
