YES, WE WILL PLAY !!!

"To play in a Sunday League, $375. To join a Tuesday or a Friday night League, $325. To build positive relationships with the Texas Softball Hall of Fame community, priceless." RALPH HALL

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, skill developments, and changes in so many lives from participating in our softball events. We believe that even though we have an authentically good history and that all our leagues are functioning very well now, the BEST IS YET TO BE. "Hall things are possible and winning the future is one of those possibilities." LET'S PLAY BALL !
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. So don't just catch the ball, catch a vision for how the game can be played. With vision, caring, and skill we see the plan. With cooperation, commitment, and courage we lead the people. The value of this leadership is connected to those rules of softball which are rooted in character and nurtured by sportsmanship. Their influence and impact will last far beyond my work or lifetime. Nonetheless, "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 26 years. It's been basic player friendly softball. It has also been an amazing three decades. I loved being part of it, still do, and always will. Yet, there is something more important than the past. That something begins now with a vision for winning the future. LET'S PLAY BALL!
In connecting with our softball family in 2008 many coaches and players may also discover that this is the time to decide where to belong. They can be here with us. In an effort to help teams plan, we are providing opportunities for many leagues. We wish the best for all of our loyal friends and faithful supporters. It is an honor to serve them. "Sometimes we have to serve in order to lead and sometimes we 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 late 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? Ultimately, it is not the thundering applause of the crowd or the lightning bolt accolades of recognition, but the quietly courageous whispers from the heart that will lead us onward and upward.
"Winning the future trumps our accomplishments from the past and energizes our work in the present." Will you bring your team to join us? LET'S PLAY BALL! RALPH HALL 7-22-08

RALPH HALL, Jr. & BUD SELIG,
COMMISSIONER, MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL

"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. Be one. Let's play ball!"

"WE ARE NOT JUST IN A BUSINESS. WE ARE ON A MISSION." Ralph Hall

TEXAS SOFTBALL HALL OF FAME MISSION STATEMENT and your mission if you choose to accept it, is to lead softball events that promote sportsmanship, to protect the integrity of the game, to provide a caring atmosphere, to enhance the well-being of all who participate, and to honor connectedness in the softball community. "This is how the

heartbeatof Texas softball makes an impact and a positive difference." Ralph Hall

"Our mission has been tested by both time and circumstances. It began as a sacred promise, but has been transformed from great words of hope into a lifestyle of genuinely caring, a disciplined willingness to continually improve, and a commitment to generously give." Ralph Hall 7-15-08

"The test of softball leadership is passed when the players leave the park and do something that honors God with their lives." Ralph Hall 5-20-08

“If you plan to build a house of sportsmanship, you must first dig a deep foundation of character.” RALPH HALL

"Before the hearts of the softball world can be turned upside down, my own heart has to be turned right side up." Ralph Hall 5-20-08

"Never stop connecting with the One who gave you your dreams. To follow Him is more important than to follow your dreams."
Ralph Hall, Jr.

"With vision, caring, and skill we see the plan. With cooperation, commitment, and courage we lead the people." RALPH HALL

"A softball player does not play because he has 9 others following him. A softball player plays because he has One leading him." BE ONE. Ralph Hall 7-16-08

"The BEST LEADER in softball IS the one who is AMONG US not the one who is ABOVE US. BE ONE."
RALPH HALL 7-18-07

What the score is at the end of the game matters very little to me. "What matters most in my scorebook is who has played the game with sportsmanship." Ralph Hall, Jr. 7-14-06
