Hall
of Fame |
"The ASA Hall of Fame was established
to honor those sportscasters who have achieved excellence in the field
of sportscasting. Since 1984, annual Hall of Fame induction ceremonies
have been held to recognize the abilities of the world's top sportscasters.
Their accomplishments will be recognized and perpetuated in the ASA Hall
of Fame."

-- Dick Enberg,
ASA Chairman |
The ASA
Hall of Fame memorialized the illustrious careers of those who gave voice
to sports history's greatest moments. The Hall of Fame was officially
opened on February 26, 1998, and was located in the MCI National Sports
Gallery in Washington, D.C. It featured rare memorabilia, the greats on
interactive display, and it traced the history of sports broadcasting
since its inception in the early 1920's. A popular attraction allowed
fans to recreate early radio broadcasts from a scrolling LED board or
dial their favorite sportscasters' most famous calls. |

The 25,000 sq. ft. National Sports Gallery located in the MCI Center in
Washington, D.C., was officially closed in 2000 to make room for office
space. The ASA is actively pursuing a new space in which to house its
Hall of Fame.
