Oregon Sports Hall of Fame Hall of Fame
The Oregon Sports Hall of Fame honors Oregon athletes, teams, coaches, and others who have made a significant contribution to sports in Oregon. The first class was inducted in 1980, with new inductees added in the fall. Operated by the Oregon Sports Trust, the museum is currently closed in preparation for moving to another facility.
History and organization
The Oregon Sports Hall of Fame inducted its first class of 54 members in 1980, a diverse group that included Olympians Mack Robinson , Don Schollander and Frank Troeh , Boston Red Sox legend Johnny Pesky , NFL hero Norm van Brocklin , Heisman Trophy winner Terry Baker , high jump innovator Dick Fosbury , and basketball coaching legend Slats Gill .
New members are inducted each fall, in a ceremony held in recent years at the Multnomah Athletic Club in Portland, Oregon .
Scholarships
As part of its educational mission to promote the values and rewards of participation in sports, the Oregon Sports Hall of Fame grants as many as nine $2,000 scholarships given to outstanding Oregon student athletes who will be attending Oregon colleges. Scholarship winners are honored during the Hall of Fame induction ceremony.
Facility
From 1986 to 1997, the museum was located in a 3,000-square-foot (280 m2 ) basement under the Standard Insurance Center in downtown Portland, Oregon .[ 1] 2 ) of space with hands-on exhibits, videos, and memorabilia, such as Terry Baker 's Heisman Trophy (the first Heisman given to a West Coast athlete), Mack Robinson 's Olympic jersey, one of Dale Murphy 's Golden Gloves , and Bill Walton 's jersey from the 1977 Portland Trail Blazers NBA championship game.
In mid-2008, StanCorp evicted the museum in order to expand their own office space. The museum is closed in preparation for moving to an as-yet determined location.[ 2] [ 3]
