Hall of Fame Banquet Recap
Class of 2025 National Baseball Congress Hall of Fame Induction & Celebration Recap
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us on Thursday, January 30, 2025, to celebrate the newest inductees into the National Baseball Congress Hall of Fame. Hosted at the B-29 Doc Hangar and Education Center in Wichita, the event honored legendary figures in baseball and brought together fans, former players, and the entire NBC community for a night of memories and celebration.
We were especially honored to welcome Hall of Famer Ozzie Smith, NBC Hall of Fame Class of 1992, and a former Clarinda A’s standout, who shared incredible stories and personal reflections on the game’s lasting impact.
Proceeds from the event benefited the NBC Baseball Foundation, supporting our mission to connect communities through baseball.
Thank you for making this a night to remember, and we look forward to celebrating with you again at the 2026 Hall of Fame Ceremony! Stay tuned for details on next year’s event.
