Hall of Fame

The Hall of Fame is seen as the most prestigious Award of the Club and was  initiated in 2016 as part of the 50th Anniversary celebrations of the Club.

The criteria for this Award is that Hall of Fame inductees will have represented the club and achieved outstanding results as both an on field player and in the way they have impacted on their fellow team mates. Consideration is also given to representing the University at the University Games.

There were 4 inaugural inductees into the Hall of Fame for Flinders University Baseball  Club and it is expected that new inductees will be added who achieve the required criteria.
