Scrap Iron Hall Of Fame Awards Recipients
Each year, players are nominated to the Scrap Iron Hall of Fame. A Hall of Fame committee (members elected by the Board of Directors) discuss and vote to accept or decline the nominee’s inclusion to our Hall of Fame. The categories are Player, Coach, Old Timer and Special. Players excel at the game and are a credit to the Scrap Iron Club on and off the field. Coaches have lead Scrap Iron teams to championships and have set an excellent example of the Scrap Iron character. Old Timers have been club members for many years and although they may not be all-stars they have consistently contributed to and supported Scrap Iron teams. The Special category is for members that have done any or all of the above and have supported the club by effectively serving and/or volunteering administratively.
