Goosebumps...I got 'em in Cooperstown in 1997.

Only the best of the best make it. Seeing bats, balls, uniforms and other game day equipment used in the past is, quite simply, amazing. By visiting the Baseball Hall of Fame, millions each year pay homage to these 'greats of the game' and their accomplishments. In reality, this museum preserves the past while helping Major League Baseball build for the future.

The Aquila Group understands that the future of youth sports in Vicksburg, Mississippi is very bright. Our community is in a position to move forward with youth sports due to the fact that a solid foundation is already in place... a foundation with a cornerstone for success put there by those who came before us. Without their dedication and direction, we would not be in a position to look to the future.

To better understand where we are headed, we must acknowledge our past. The Aquila Group plans to establish a Vicksburg/Warren County Youth Sports Hall of Fame honoring those from the past. But of course, we need your help. Below you will find a form to nominate someone from your past who had an impact on youth sports in our community.

While our new multi-sport complex will initially be limited to youth softball and baseball, this new 'Hall of Fame' will be open to nominees from all youth sports. Coaches, players, league officials, umpires, referees and business leaders who had an impact on our youth with their past involvement in any sport are worthy of your consideration.

We intend to have representation on our selection committee from various sports leagues as well as members of our community who can bring some historical perspective of youth sports in Vicksburg and Warren County. Please help us with your nominations... You may fill out the nomination form and return it to us:
