As part of the AAABA's 50th Anniversary celebration in 1994, the Board of Directors voted to establish a Hall of Fame to honor those players, coaches, and administrators whose tireless efforts have made the AAABA what it is today. Each August, a new class of inductees is added to this prestigious list. Below is the complete list of honorees and the years in which they were inducted.
