You have now entered the Texas Softball Hall Of Fame website, where Leadership and Character get revealed in many ways. We are truly glad that you have chosen to read the 2012 homepage today. It is exciting to become part of the countless improvements, skill enhancements, and attitude changes which develop in the context of our softball relationships. We believe that even though we have an authentically good history and that our leagues are functioning very well now, the best is yet to be. Hall things are possible.

The Texas Softball Hall of Fame Director since 1985, Ralph Hall, focuses on a clear vision of how the game of softball can be played. Rather than try to explain his vision to you, he would ask you to come to the ballpark, stand beside him and then walk around the Park to see it for yourself. Together we will see more walking through the gates of trust than we could ever picture in the mirror of accomplishments. With eyes wide open you can do more than just catch the historic ball, you can catch a new vision for how these games are planned and how they can be played. With vision, caring, and skill, we see that plan. With cooperation, commitment, and courage, we lead the people. The value of this leadership is connected to those leaders in softball who are rooted in character and are nurtured by sportsmanship. Their influence and impact will last far beyond Ralph's work or lifetime. With that kind of inspiration, we will aspire to our motto: "WE WORK. YOU PLAY."

In 2012 we are playing leagues at two locations, Cullen Park in far west Houston and Community Park in Missouri City, Texas. Our priority again this year is to promote these leagues. This is our game and recreational softball is spoken here. Aqui se habla softball. There will be many whose hopes and dreams will come alive in 2012. Ultimately, it is not the cheers of the spectators or the accolades of peer recognition, but it is the quietly courageous whispers from heartfelt relationships that add value to our lives. Those who step up to the plate and get field tested can fully appreciate the play style we enjoy.

The question for you is a simple and straight forward one. Will you come and bring your team to join us in this mission? Sportsmanship is our history and our destiny. Sportsmanship, fairness, and character are well thought out priorities for those who choose Texas Softball Hall of Fame and remain its loyal supporters. It is they who will transform any cloudy yesterday into a brighter tomorrow.

As we continue in our 30th year of professional service in this part of the country we gladly point to our motto again. We Work - You Play 2. One and done is not as much fun. LET'S PLAY BALL! 

 To get the walk off hit - awesome
To turn the unassisted triple play - uniquely great
To play the worst season of your life and still love this game - priceless  R. Hall
