New Members added annually

The Rutherford County Baseball Organization was originally founded as the Rutherford County Ole Timer's Baseball Association and  has been in existence since 1973. The first members elected to the Hall of Fame occurred in 1976. Each year we recognize new members that represent the rich history of Rutherford County baseball. If you know a contributor to the game of baseball in Rutherford County, complete the information sheet on the HOF Nomination tab and submit their name for ballot consideration. Ballots for the upcoming year's banquet are mailed in the spring.
