The NEW YORK STATE USSSA Hall of Fame is a virtual Hall, which resides on the NEW YORK website.
NEW YORK has played an important part in the establishment of USSSA, from conception to the present day. One of the ways to recognize the people that played a major part in this development is to honor them with induction into a Hall of Fame that is dedicated to New Yorkers. Each Hall of Fame inductee will receive a Hall of Fame Ring, Engraved Bat and Certificate detailing their induction.
Our twentith annual dinner and induction ceremony was held on March 6, 2026 in Lake Ronkonkoma, NY with 275 people attending. Thirteen individuals from the Class of 2026 were inducted into the Hall Of Fame. Click on Hall of Fame Inductees above to view bios. In addition, we honored a Team of Distinction.
The 2027 induction ceremony will be held on March 13, 2027 at The Links At Erie Village, 5900 North Burdick Street, East Syracuse, NY.
