Discussion: SSUSA Hall of Fame

Congratulations to my teammate, Joe Hensley, for his induction into the SSUSA HOF. He is certainly deserving.

Is the SSUSA HOF different from the National Senior Softball Hall of Fame (NSSHOF)? Usually, there are a more players inducted into the NSSHOF than the three who were inducted this year and members get to vote for the nominees. I was not sent the nominations or have a chance to vote this year. If I had, I certainly would have voted for Joe.
Murray, I thought they were the same. I also did not receive a ballot this year. I have voted every year in which I received a ballot. And no changes have taken place in my email and contact information,
They are definitely not the same.
Congratulations to Joe Hensley, one of the best softball people I know! He can also hit with the best that Senior softball has to offer. This achievement is well deserved. Congratulations again, Joe.
I didn't even know SSUSA had a HOF.

Dave, you've got some explaining to do. LOL
There are just over 50 members in the SSUSA Hof ...

Why is there no web site with info and pics of these players like NSSHOF has?
That list came from the "SSUSA CONTACTS" page of this website. No need for a separate website in my view.
