2025 NLBM Hall of Game

The Negro Leagues Baseball Museum (NLBM) invites you to join us for the 2025 Hall of Game ceremony as we honor Dusty Baker, Cito Gaston, Jerry Manuel and Willie Randolph for their successful managerial careers in Major League Baseball in conjunction with our current Leaders & Innovators exhibit.

This exhibit raises greater awareness of the brilliant managers of the Negro Leagues who were never afforded the opportunity to showcase their talents after the integration of the game. In addition, MLB executive Tony Reagins will be honored as the inaugural recipient of the J.L. Wilkinson Innovator Award.

Established by the NLBM in 2014, the Hall of Game honors former Major League Baseball greats who competed with the same passion, determination, skill and flair exhibited by the heroes of the Negro Leagues. The Class of 2025 joins an impressive roster of past honorees that includes Roberto Clemente, Rickey Henderson, Joe Morgan, Ozzie Smith, Luis Tiant and more. Hall of Game honorees will receive permanent recognition at the new NLBM complex when it is completed.
