We have recently formed a "USA Softball of Michigan Hall of Fame Nominating Committee" for District 21 Softball. &nbsp;This group has determined criteria and guidelines for nominating local individuals. This nominating committee will determine who is selected for nomination to the Michigan ASA Hall of Fame. &nbsp;The USA Softball of Michigan Hall of Fame has a separate committee that reviews applicants for inclusion into the USA Softball of Michigan Hall of Fame. &nbsp;If a candidate is selected for nomination by the D21 Committee, there is no guarantee that they will be selected to the USA Softball of Michigan Hall of Fame.
