Michigan Sports Hall of Fame

The Michigan Sports Hall of Fame is a Hall of Fame to honor Michigan sports people. It was organized in 1954 by Michigan Lieutenant Governor Philip Hart, Michigan State University athletic director Biggie Munn, president of the Greater Michigan Foundation Donald Weeks, general manager of the Detroit Lions W. Nicholas Kerbeway and George Alderton of the Lansing State Journal.^[1] The inaugural class was inducted in 1955. James Stark is executive director of the Michigan Sports Hall of Fame and Scott Leshner is its chairman. Because of the economy, the Hall of Fame did not induct any members in 2008 and 2009.^[2][3]

Eleven members were inducted to the Hall of Fame from the Class of 2010. They were: Bob Becker, George Blaha, Bill Flemming, Steve Fraser, Marian Ilitch, Peter Karmanos, Rick Leach, Meg Mallon, Herman Moore, Eddie Murray, Jack Roush and Jon Urbanchek.^[2]

The Michigan Sports Hall of Fame also sponsors the Michigan MAC Trophy.
