We endeavor to perpetuate the memory of local athletes who have brought lasting recognition to PA

We are a nonprofit organization located in Luzerne County, in Northeastern Pennsylvania.

After taking a day, we present these moments held in time. Thank you to Alan Stout and Visit Luzerne County, Mayor George C. Brown, County Manager Romilda Crocamo and Dave Pedri from the Luzerne Foundation for joining us in commemorating this Hall of Fame moment. Our friends from WV Challenger Baseball led the Sultan’s March along with other area little leaguers. Thank you Dan Mulhern for helping me to clean up Artillery Park. My special thank you goes out to Dave Lewis and his staff from the W-B DPW, for creating a truly memorable visual experience in Kirby Park. We were able to provide a generous donation to the Janet Weis Children’s Miracle Network at Geisinger through sponsor support and athlete participation. It also was a pleasure to meet Tom Stevens, the grandson of Babe Ruth. He was extremely engaged in the event, and was kind to everyone. Onward to 101!
