The Hispanic Heritage Baseball Museum Hall of Fame is an international museum and hall of fame which was founded in San Francisco, California to honor and recognize the contributions made to baseball by Hispanic and Latin baseball players as well as players with the heritage.^[1]

History

The museum and hall of fame was founded in the Mission District in San Francisco, California on October 24, 1998, and was incorporated as a non-profit organization on June 23, 1999, in Sacramento, California. The idea of the museum came from Gabriel "Tito" Avila Jr., a former semi-professional baseball player from New York City who resides in San Francisco.^[2]

Avila wanted to honor the greatest Hispanic baseball players of all time and founded the museum as an international organization dedicated to recognizing the contributions made to baseball by Hispanic and Latino players. Since its inception, the Hispanic Heritage Baseball Museum Hall of Fame has inducted seventy-four players, coaches, broadcasters, Hispanic players who played in the Negro leagues, Major League Baseball scorers, and executives.^[2]
