The Hispanic Heritage Baseball Museum Hall of Fame, Inc., was established in San Francisco, California in June 1999, as a not for profit institution. It is dedicated to recognizing the contributions made to baseball by its Hispanic players.
The initial inductees that were inducted at a banquet on February 23, 2002 were Orlando Cepeda, Tito Fuentes, Ted Williams, and Minnie Miñoso.
On Saturday, June 23rd, 2007 current Giant Omar Vizquel, former Giant Matty Alou, and former NY Yankee Hector Lopez were honored during a homeplate ceremony at AT&T Park for their recent induction to the Hispanic Heritage Baseball Museum 's Hall of Fame before a crowd of 43,000 fans.
The Hispanic Heritage Baseball Museum Hall of Fame was invited to showcase the "Latino Legends" team and their memorabilia at the 2007 All-Star Fan Fest located at the Moscone Center in San Francisco. Latino Legends Team was an all-time all-star baseball team selected in 2005 to honor the history of Latin American players in Major League Baseball.
During the 2008 All-Star Game Fan Fest held at the Javits Center in New York City, the museum was again invited by Major League Baseball to showcase their memorabilia along with the Chevy "Latino Legends" team.
The Hispanic Heritage Baseball Museum Hall of Fame has partnered with Johnny Walker and Eventus Marketing Services to showcase exhibitions in Phoenix, Miami, Arlington and Houston in the last couple months of the 2008 baseball season.
Currently, the museum has no permanent exhibit facility, but brings traveling exhibits to area baseball games. [http://www.hispanicbaseballmuseum.com/HHBMNews/HHBMNews_Spring2008.pdf Spring 2008 News]
