The Amateur Softball Association of America (ASA) established the National Softball Hall of Fame and Museum in 1957. The association moved from Newark, NJ, to Oklahoma City in 1966 and began plans to build a headquarters building, including the hall of fame.
The new building opened to the public on July 1, 1973. There have been two additions since then, bringing the total area for the hall of fame to 18,140 square feet.
A 12-member committee votes on nominees. Nine votes are required for induction.
