Welcome To The Hall: St. Louis Amateur Baseball Community Honors 2012 Class

This year's inductees include those who made an impact on amateur baseball locally as a player, as coaches or as umpires. Sometimes, they've done all three.

It might have felt like the Sheraton Westport Chalet was something like a field of dreams Thursday night in Maryland Heights.

For one night, people of all ages came together to honor the past, present and baseball future during ceremonies for the 39th annual St. Louis Amateur Baseball Hall of Fame inductions, which also included the presentation of the first Jack Buck Media Award, the Bob Broeg Award and the Bob Burnes Award.

Among the winners was Harold Weis. As a 17-year old he hit homers in his first four games in the Eastern Missouri Baseball Association. His 1967 St. Peters team won the EMBA Little World Series while he earned MVP honors. As a coach, his St. Charles American Legion Post won state titles in 1983 and 1984. Today he works at the Hall of Fame Museum at T.R. Hughes Ballpark.
