The Greater Chattanooga Sports Hall of Fame is an organization that honors the athletic accomplishments of citizens of the Greater Chattanooga Area. Although some inductees have moved on to other parts of the country, they are readily identified with Chattanooga, or one of the other counties which border Hamilton County - hence the name, Greater Chattanooga Sports Hall of Fame.
Leadership and character are two of the qualities that are essential to be inducted into this Hall of Fame.
The Greater Chattanooga Sports Hall of Fame has its roots in the 1960's when a group came together to honor long-time Lookouts radio play-by-play man Gus Chamberlain. The organization has grown since that day to include a variety of sports and special fields.
In addition to these awards, we also recognize the outstanding male and female athletes of the year as well as special awards that reflect outstanding service and commitment to athletics. Since this meager beginning, we have not only continued to add new inductees, but also to include new categories of sports.
Currently there are more than 900 inductees in this Hall of Fame as well as 150-plus special award winners.
