About the Hall of Fame
Our MissionTo celebrate Marylanders’ outstanding athletic accomplishments and promote the ideals as well as the traditions of Maryland athletics and its athletes. A Rich HistoryFounded in 1956, under the sponsorship of the M Club Foundation the Maryland State Athletic Hall of Fame inducted its first class of “all-stars,” which included the first modern Olympic champion in discus throw and shot put, Robert Garrett, and baseball greats Babe Ruth, Jimmie Foxx, and Frank “Home Run” Baker. Ever since, this list of native-born and more recently adopted Maryland sons and daughters - some of the region’s greatest athletes - has grown. Read full history. The Annual Induction BanquetEach fall, the MDSAHOF holds its induction banquet to celebrate and honor the class of inductees. Tickets are open to the public. Learn more.
