This is the Texas Softball Hall Of Fame website, where LEADERSHIP gets revealed in many ways. I am so glad that you have chosen to be on this homepage today. It is exciting to see the many improvements and changes in lives from participating in our softball events for years. We believe that even though we have an authentically good history and that all the leagues are functioning very well now, the BEST IS YET TO BE. "Hall things are possible."

I have a vision for how the game of softball can be played. Rather than try to explain my vision to you, I would ask you to come to the ballpark, stand beside me, and see it for yourself. Together we can see more thru the windshield of trust than we can ever picture in the rear view mirror of accomplishments. With vision, caring, and skill we see the plan. With cooperation, commitment, and courage we lead the people. "WE WORK. YOU PLAY." LET'S PLAY BALL !

In 2008 let's play ball with RALPH HALL, a softball player for 52 years, a slow pitch softball umpire for over 42 years, and an innovative leader in Houston area softball for nearly 26 years. It's just basic player friendly softball. "It's been an amazing three decades. I love being part of it and I always will." LET'S PLAY BALL!

In connecting with our softball family in 2008 coaches and players may also discover that this is the time to decide where to belong. They can be somebody here. In an effort to help teams plan, we are providing  opportunities for many leagues and a few tournaments. We wish the best for all of our loyal friends and faithful supporters. It is an honor to serve them. "Sometimes you have to serve in order to lead and sometimes you have to lead in order to serve." LET'S PLAY BALL !

In 2008 we will play leagues at two locations, at Cullen Park in far west Houston and at Community Park in Missouri City, Texas. We might host a few Saturday Tournaments in 2008. However, our higher priority again this year is to promote leagues. This is our game and softball is spoken here. Aqui se habla softball. Whose dreams will come true in 2008? LET'S PLAY BALL!

COMMISSIONER, MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL

baseball player animation"As we connect with our past and our future in ways that bring honor to the softball community we will discover higher purposes than terror. We will be part of a dream deeply associated with the dreams of Americans and Texans. We will be winners of men more than winners of games. We will be a people who are transformed out of the pain and a nation who enters into the fields of promise and hope. In these fields the best is yet to be. I will be there. Will you be there with me for the next chapter? Let's become one nation united in attitudes, actions, and purposes. Let's play ball!"
