College Baseball Hall of Fame

The College Baseball Hall of Fame, located in Lubbock, Texas, is a museum operated by the College Baseball Foundation serving as the central point for the study of the history of college baseball in the United States. In partnership with the Southwest Collection/Special Collections Library on the campus of Texas Tech University, the College Baseball Hall of Fame inducts five former collegiate players and five former coaches in addition to two veteran players (from the pre-1947 era), annually.

History

The College Baseball Foundation was formed in 2004 as a non-profit organization, with the dual aims of continuing the Smith Award (rechristened as the Brooks Wallace Award) and creating a national college baseball hall of fame. While the inaugural Wallace Award was bestowed in 2004, the inaugural hall of fame induction class was not chosen until 2006, while a permanent building is planned for 2008 [ [http://sports.espn.go.com/ncaa/news/story?id=2509494 ESPN - Winfield leads class of 10 into College Baseball Hall - College Sports ] ] .
