Houston Sports Hall of Fame

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Houston Sports Hall of Fame is a Hall of Fame that honors sports figures from or associated with the Houston area that have made a significant impact in their sport. It is located in Downtown Houston at GreenStreet. The inductees can come from major professional sports teams as well as college or high school teams in Greater Houston. If the sport is a non-team sport, such as boxing and golf, they may get inducted by growing up in the area.
