FLORIDA SCOUTS HALL OF FAME
The Hall of Fame honors those unsung men of our “National Pastime” who have represented their organization and baseball with honor, have been productive and who have been an inspiration to all those around them. The Hall is for those men who have gone beyond their scouting responsibilities to influence and promote the game we all love. Their tireless work ethic, dedication, enthusiasm and love of the game have left us a legacy to strive towards. We salute the scouts who embody the aforementioned qualities and for the sacrifices they have made for the betterment of the game.
