IN MEMORY OF BRIAN RICHARDSON

PictureBRIAN RICHARDSON, SR. (1948-2020)
The Greater STL Amateur Baseball Hall of Fame lost one of its best players on Tuesday, September 8, 2020.  Brian Richardson, treasurer and member of the executive committee of the board of directors was fatally injured in a highway accident while on vacation in Wyoming.  He was 71.  Brian joined the board of directors in 2010 and was named Treasurer in 2014.  He was a proud member of the Hall of Fame, inducted in 2007 after an outstanding career as a pitcher and coach in the St. Louis area. He was a crafty right-hander at Southwest High School, Meramec Community College, Mizzou and the St. Louis County Summer League.  He also served as head baseball coach at Harris-Stowe State College and managed several outstanding players who followed him into the Hall of Fame.  Quite simply, he loved baseball. No one worked harder to keep the heritage and tradition of amateur baseball alive in St. Louis. 
​He was a passionate and tireless supporter of our Hall of Fame. He was our friend and teammate.  He will be dearly missed. ​
