Westchester Sports Hall Of Fame Accepting Nominations For 2024

WHITE PLAINS, NY — Nominations are now being accepted for the 2024 Westchester Sports Hall of Fame.

Since 1968, the Hall of Fame has honored more than 200 outstanding professional and amateur sportsmen and sportswomen, living or deceased, who have gained prominence in their fields and who have made substantial contributions to sports in Westchester County.

County Executive George Latimer said Westchester is bursting with exceptional candidates for the Sports Hall of Fame.

“The process of combing through the submissions and making the final selections is extremely stimulating,” he said. “Every candidate is inspiring and dedicated in their own way. The committee is tasked to make many tough choices.”

Nominations for consideration by the Hall of Fame committee are solicited from the public. Nominees are reviewed, and the committee selects those who best meet or exceed the criteria of the Hall of Fame.

A prospective candidate must be at least 25 years old and should be a person of integrity and good character who has gained prominence in either professional or amateur sports as a player, coach, manager, official, owner, sports media writer or broadcaster.

Anyone who wants to make a nomination should use this form.

All nominations must be postmarked or e-mailed by Friday, May 3.

Individuals selected are inducted into the Sports Hall of Fame during the fall of each year. They are presented with a Hall of Fame trophy and their names are inscribed on a plaque in the first-floor gallery at the Westchester County Center in White Plains.
