CONNECTICUT ASA HALL OF FAME

In August 2006, the sport of softball in Connecticut became unified

in honoring its past with the merging of its fast pitch and slow pitch Halls

of Fame. Prior to this merger, the two entities had each separately elected

and inducted members to their respective Hall of Fames. That changed with

the formation of one combined Hall of Fame to be known as the Connecti-

cut ASA Hall of Fame.

New CASA state commissioner Hank Koritkoski oversees the um-

bella organization with the fast pitch and slow pitch committees continuing

to function as separate groups in selecting candidates for the CASA Hall of

Fame.

CASA stages an annual Hall of Fame dinner to formally induct its

new members.

The Fast Pitch Hall of Fame was established in 1971, with the Slow

Pitch Hall starting in 1985. Committees to select CASA Hall of Famers meet

frequently and accept nominations for new candidates. To be eligible for

slow pitch consideration, a player must be retired for 5 years or if the player

is over 50 years of age, the 5-year waiting period is waived. The Bernie Ias-

sogna Hall of Honor, named for the nationally and internationally known

umpire, is open to managers, coaches, sponsors, umpires and friends of the

game.

For fast pitch nominees, applications should be submitted to the

HOF fast pitch committee or a district commissioner by June 30 each year.

Any individual who had an outstanding softball career in Connecticut is eli-

gible, with emphasis on state, regional and national tournament play as one

of the important criteria for Hall of Fame consideration.

BOB BELLEMORE

Bellemore’s softball career started at age 15when he played on Ace Hardware, a men’steam in North Providence, RI. Just threeyears later, he was part of the Rhode Islandstate champion Local 57 Engineers, whowon the 1959 New England Regionals. Thisprovided Bob with his first opportunity toparticipate in a National Fast Pitch Tourna-ment in Clearwater, Florida. Due to mili-tary service and college, Bellemore missed a

few years of competition, but beginning in 1964, he played in anational tournament every year from 1964 to 1984 with two ex-ceptions.

The teams on which Bob played included the Local 57 Engi-neers, Providence; Raybestos Cardinals, Stratford; InterstateBattery, Worcester, MA; and the Franklin Cardinals, Stratford.

During his five years on the Cardinals, the team won NationalChampionships in 1969, 1970 and 1972.

Over his long career, Bellemore played in tournaments through-out the country including Florida, California, Indiana, Mis-souri, Texas, Washington, Michigan, and Illinois.

During most of his career, he was a third-baseman with a repu-tation as an outstanding defensive player. He was especiallyadept in defending against bunts. As a lead-off hitter, Bellemorehad an excellent on-base-percentage by drawing walks or evenby getting hit by pitch more than most players. He estimates hislife-time batting average to be about .250.

Bellemore, who resides in Westerly, RI, is proud of his fast pitchsoftball accomplishments, but “most of all, cherishes the friend-ships and the honor of playing with some of the greatest fastpitch players in the world.”

playing with several of the top Class A

baseman with Cip’s Home Plate, he led the

club to the state title in 1980 and two run-

ners-up finishes in 1979 and 1981. Cip’s also competed in the New

England regionals in 1980. Botte hit for both power and average,

and got his start in 1964 spending 14 seasons with the Minor Park

club.

He continues to perform well on the senior circuit just completing

his ninth season with Edge Technology.
