INDUCTED ON TUESDAY AUGUST 15, 2023

TERRY HELBIG - Terry co-founded the Oakland Oaks as a player-manager in 1973, was elected as the Pen Mar League Secretary/Treasurer in 1975 and managed the Oaks to league Championships both in 1986 and in 1989. The circuit evolved under Helbig's leadership as he became the Pen Mar-West Virginia League's President. The loop launched John Kruk to a Major League Baseball career and six former Oaks have become high school and/or college coaches. 

JOE SHIELDS - Joe anchored a strong Dundalk Brewers lineup that won five Baltimore League Championships in 1998, 2000, 2003, 2004 and 2006. Switch-hitter's speed induced infielders' errors. Shields stroked 51 home runs and 52 doubles while batting .395, registering 257 runs batted in, 194 walks and 109 stolen bases during a torrid 220-game stretch.

INDUCTED ON SUNDAY AUGUST 21, 2022

KENT BOLES - A player-manager for the Dundalk Brewers, Kent Boles was a feared hitter in Baltimore-area leagues for more than two decades.  He hit for power, average, used all fields and was a run producing machine while hitting in the middle of the Brewers' lineup. He led the Brewers to hundreds of wins and seven league Championships in 1989, 1997, 1998, 2000, 2003, 2004 and 2006. In addition to his offensive prowess, he often caught both ends of doubleheaders and was rarely shaken off by hurlers. 

   Boles was appointed by Maryland Governor Larry Hogan as a Baltimore City Judge in 2016. The epitome of a hard-nosed, old-school baseball player, not only did he win, he set the standards both for being a model teammate and for raising the level of his teammates. He treated both his teammates and his opponents with respect and he had the ultimate respect for the game that we all love. 

CRAIG SHREEVES - As their manager for 22 seasons (1995-2016), Craig Shreeves led the Eastern  Shore League's Perdue Chicks to 511 wins, a .728 winning percentage, 14 league Championships, 12  Jimmy Carter Memorial Tournament Championships, five National Amateur Baseball Federation World Series appearances and the 2010 Maryland Semi-Pro Baseball State Championship. Selected to the Hall in his first year of eligibility, he was also the first to be selected twice as the Maryland Semi-Pro Baseball Manager of the Year. 

INDUCTED ON SATURDAY AUGUST 8, 2020

MARK CHIVERAL - A tough and talented right-handed pitcher who could beat any team with the combination of his guile and his assortment of quality pitches from the mid-1980's into the early 21st Century, the Dundalk Brewer was both the definition of a big-game pitcher and a true student of the game who became the Brewers' player-manager in Baltimore County in his latter years.

SID GRIMES - Grimes played both for the La Plata and for the Bryans Road teams early on, but played the majority of his career with the American Legion Post 82 team in La Plata in the Charles-Saint Mary's League. Sid was Pitcher of the Year for three consecutive seasons (1951-1953) and a two-time league leader in pitching strikeouts. A good hitter and a respected player, winning the league's Sportsmanship Award and participating on more than a dozen championship teams, he was the very first recipient of the Charles-Saint Mary's League’s Jim Speake Memorial Award for dedication and longtime service. He was the caretaker of American Legion Field in La Plata for many years and he remained actively involved on the field for 52 years. His later seasons included his winning of a Player of the Week award at age 57.

BRIAN HOLLAMON - One of the most dominating players in the Eastern Shore League from 1992-2013 as an outfielder, catcher, shortstop, and third baseman, Hollamon played 18 of his 22 years in the Eastern Shore League for the Perdue Chicks, helping to lead them to 11 league championships, 10 Jimmy Carter Memorial Tournament Championships, five National Amateur Baseball Federation World Series appearances and the 2010 Maryland Semi-Pro Baseball State Championship. Playing 530 games for Perdue, he ranks in the top three in 18 of the 24 hitting, running, and fielding career statistical categories in the Perdue all-time record book. Remarkably durable and dedicated, he had consecutive games played streaks of 153, 91, and 64 games, while missing only 22 games in his 18 seasons with Perdue.

INDUCTED ON SATURDAY AUGUST 31, 2019

JASON BOOKER - Presstman Cardinals' 1980's leadoff hitter played for three Baltimore League Champions and four Central Atlantic League Champions

INDUCTED ON SATURDAY AUGUST 11, 2018

FLOYD BUCK - A key member for the powerhouse Indian Head Indians from the 1950s to 1970s, Floyd was one of the Charles-Saint Mary's League's most consistent sluggers. He led the league in homeruns five times and was the highest slugger three times. On top of winning two batting titles, he led the league in RBI three times, hits twice, and runs twice.  He earned the league's Most Valuable Player Award in 1961 and later was a successful manager for the Indians, winning the league's Manager of the Year award in 1967. Floyd became a legend on the softball fields both of Charles County and of Saint Mary's County and he continued his powerful slugging in the slow-pitch circuit for many years after his baseball career. He passed away on Saturday, August 4, 2018, a week before this induction.

RANDY LOTT - A crafty lefthander with pinpoint control, Lott was always the ace on his teams' pitching staffs, including Markuson Sporting Goods, Naden Lean Associates, W&W Sportswear, Overlea Anxious and the Dundalk Brewers. A perennial All-Star whose contributions both as a player and as a manager were instrumental in building the Baltimore-Harford League. A true gentleman both on and off of the field from the early 1980's into the early 21st Century.

DEVIN WARWICK - An offensive catalyst and defensive stalwart for the Perdue Chicks for 19 seasons, Devin Warwick led the Chicks to numerous Eastern Shore League Championships. He made his league debut in 1984 and quickly became the league's best shortstop over the next ten seasons before shifting to second base for the remainder of his career to form a dynamic double-play combination with fellow Hall of Famer Derek "Deke" Yobst. Throughout his career, Devin was an opposing pitcher's nightmare: an extremely dangerous hitter with power but frustratingly difficult to strike out. He had perhaps the greatest two-year stretch in Eastern Shore League history in 1998-1999 when he hit .443 with 113 hits, 20 home runs and 95 rbi, striking out only 12 times in 292 plate appearances in 64 games.

INDUCTED ON FRIDAY, AUGUST 19, 2016

RUDY CARRICO - Rudy was one of the most prolific hitters that the Charles-Saint Mary's League has ever seen. He won the league batting title five times and he was the home run king four times. He was the league rbi leader in seven of his seasons. Rudy was awarded the ultimate individual award of league Most Valuable Player three times and he was a member of seven championship teams including Waldorf twice, Amercian Legion Post 82 once, and Combine four times.

JOE MIRABILE - A dominating right-hander for Patterson Sporting Goods, W&W Sportswear and Aberdeen McDonald's teams throughout the 1980's and the 1990's, Joe was the backbone of every pitching staff on every team for which he played. With a devastating forkball and an outstanding fastball, he led Patterson Sporting Goods to the Baltimore-Harford League Championship in 1986.

DEREK YOBST - The Eastern Shore League's preeminent shortstop and closer for many years, Derek "Deke" Yobst played three seasons with Pepsi and then 16 seasons with the Perdue Chicks, winning two league Most Valuable Player awards and three Jimmy Carter Memorial Tournament MVP honors. Upon his retirement in 2008, he held the Perdue all-time records for hits, home runs, rbi, triples, extra-base hits, total bases, multi-hit games, consecutive games with a hit and sacrifice flies, as well as ranking in the top five in 15 other all-time Perdue career and single-season categories. Defensively, he was Perdue's all-time career assists leader and the Chicks' all-time leader in saves.

INDUCTED ON MONDAY, AUGUST 24, 2015 

GENE MILLER - The 1999 State Championship Game V Most Valuable Player with Digital Wireless was both a speedy leadoff hitting outfielder and hard to strike out playing for several Harford County teams from the mid-1980's into the early 21st Century.

RICH DOC MILLER - The most devastating right-handed power hitter in Central Atlantic League history with a .438 career batting average after relocating from New York in 1985, Doc had expected to make the Chicago Cubs' roster before a Major League career-derailing knee injury in spring training. Never wearing the collar in his five years of semi-pro ball, the first baseman peaked in his next-to-last season batting .525 with 15 home runs and 75 r.b.i. for the Baltimore Trojans who retired his jersey 16 after his 1989 swan song. He became a Bowie State professor in Prince Georges County after a second knee operation.

INDUCTED ON SATURDAY, AUGUST 16, 2014

DAVE GILLEY - The super-competitive Gilley was the catalyst for the Dundalk Brewers in Baltimore County from 1989 through 2008. The straw that stirred the drink, he was terrific defensively at third base with a shotgun arm and he was a tough hitter whom opponents did not want to face in a clutch situation.

JEFF SUMMERS - The Charles-Saint Mary's League's Most Valuable Player in 1986 with a 12-0 record before repeating as League MVP in 1987, the pitching ace set league strikeout records with 200 in the 1981 season and with 26 in a 1990 game. Summers crafted two no-hitters in 1986 including one of only four perfect games in the league's history and he tossed two additional no-hitters in 1987. Needing no designated hitter, Jeff led the loop in hits in 1992, topped the league in runs scored both in 1996 and in 1997 and paced the circuit in stolen bases six times, in 1992 through 1996 and again in 1998.

DAVE TYLER - Instrumental both in the establishment of and in the early success of the Eastern Shore League, Tyler both sponsored and managed the Salisbury-based Virginia Shores team for twenty years, leading them to the 1996 League Championship.  Both a former minor league player and a Baltimore Orioles’ scout with an outstanding baseball mind, Dave was always willing to share both his knowledge of and his love of the game.

JEFF MILLER - Harford County catcher of renown for more than two decades from the mid-1980's into the early 21st Century.

SKEETER WATKINS - A scrappy left-handed hitter for the Newark Eagles in the old Negro Leagues, Watkins played third base in their 1948 All-Star Game before more than 48,000 at Chicago's Comiskey Park. He became a semi-pro player-manager in his hometown with the Baltimore Elite Giants, recruiting rival Central Atlantic League players for Fall post-season barnstorming tours throughout the South while sporting his familiar jersey numeral 1.  

INDUCTED ON FRIDAY, AUGUST 17, 2012
JAY HERBERT - One of the most successful pitchers in Charles-Saint Mary's League history, Herbert won four leading pitcher trophies, three strikeout crowns, and a league record four Most Valuable Player awards.

He pitched primarily for Charles and Combine, but also had stints with both the Liquor Store and the Saint Mary's Green Door ballclubs. He won seven championships from 1988 through 2004, including four in a row from 1992 through 1995 and participated in 15 championship games during a 17-year period, including ten consecutive from 1992 through 2001.

JOE WILLIAMS - One of the driving forces in getting the Harford County League to merge with the Baltimore County League in the 1980's, Williams managed competitive Bel Air Athletic Club perennial playoff teams through 1992 including the first Baltimore-Harford League Champion in 1984.
