It has taken a while to get here, but we are happy to welcome you to the new Internet home of the Texas Baseball Hall of Fame! We still have a lot of content to add, so be sure to visit us often to see what's new.

Before I give you a brief tour of the site, with deference to Yogi, I want to take a moment to thank everyone who made this day necessary. We have a very dedicated group of people who volunteer their time to make the TBHOF the kind of organization that we can all be proud to support. Without them, there would be no Website... and no TBHOF! Visit the About Us section for more information about our staff and Board of Directors. We will be expanding this section significantly in the near future.

It takes the contribution of so many people to make this site a reality, but there is one person in particular I have to mention—Debb Harris. She is responsible for all the graphics and so much of the creativity that went into the site. Amazingly enough, she is an Astros fan who lives in the United Kingdom! I don't even want to think about where we would be without her. Visit her link at the bottom of any page to see more examples of Debb's work.

On our home page you will find news and feature articles written by the TBHOF staff and various guest authors. We have some surprises in store, and you'll never know who you might see writing for the www.tbhof.org site. Just so you know, you can also access the site by going to www.TexasBaseballHallOfFame.org which is longer but is easier to understand when you hear it over the phone or radio.

Our Inductees section is a work in progress. We are planning to have complete biographies for all TBHOF inductees from 1978 to the present.

In the Museum section, you will find news about our plans for the Texas Baseball Hall of Fame museum project, and ways that you can help us reach our goal. We are also planning to have photos of our artifacts, and perhaps a virtual museum.

The TBHOF Store is where you will find merchandise and other collectibles for sale. We have giclée prints of the artwork created by artist Opie Otterstad for our 2004 inductee class. Currently we are using the PayPal system, which should be a painless way for folks to use their credit cards.

The Banquet area has information about our 2005 induction banquet, and will soon include photos and details about previous banquet. Priority ticket sales will begin in July, so stay tuned for more news.

We will be adding some useful Links in the near future to baseball sites, museums, and other folks who have been very helpful to us.

Please feel free to use the Contact Us link if you have any questions or comments about the TBHOF. We want to hear from you.

There are some other special areas that we will be introducing soon. The Lone Star League (a.k.a. www.LoneStarLeague.org) is the future home of our TBHOF supporter program. Through the Lone Star Round-Up fans and supporters will be able to contribute to the TBHOF, donate artifacts, or become a volunteer. The Knot Hole Gang (a.k.a. www.KnotHoleGang.org) will be a place for the next generation of baseball fans to learn about the heroes of yesteryear. 

Thanks for stopping by!
