ISF making pitch for museum, hall of fame at Plant City Stadium

From the Plant City Courier/Tampa Tribune

PLANT CITY – It has been years in the making, but a permanent tribute to the sport of softball may finally be rounding third base.

The International Softball Federation has talked about creating a hall of fame and museum ever since it moved to the Plant City Stadium complex in 2000.

A series of setbacks, including the economic downturn and the exclusion of softball from the Olympics, stalled the project.

Fundraising is now under way, and federation Honorary President Don Porter has been presenting artists renderings and other plans to government and business groups.

Porter thinks the dream is finally coming true. He hopes to open the doors in mid-2015. Click here to continue reading at the Plant City Courier.
