Baker Hall of Fame
Hall of Fame
Founded in 1977, the Baker University Athletic Hall of Fame is one of the oldest athletic halls of fame in Kansas. The Baker Athletic Hall of Fame and induction procedure have been used as a model by other colleges who want to preserve their sports tradition and history.
More than 100 men and women have been selected from thousands of former athletes for this honor. These inductees represent nearly every sport played at Baker from nearly all eras of competition. Inductees have been members of professional sport teams, successful coaches and meritorious contributors to the University's athletic programs and to their communities.
The 2024 Baker Athletics Hall of Fame event was held on Friday, Sept. 20 on the campus of Baker University inside Rice Auditorium - 404 Eighth St. - Baldwin City, KS 66006.
