Oregon Sports Hall of Fame

The Oregon Sports Hall of Fame inducted its first class of 54 members in 1980, a diverse group that included Olympians Mack Robinson, Don Schollander and Frank Troeh, Boston Red Sox legend Johnny Pesky, NFL hero Norm van Brocklin, Heisman Trophy winner Terry Baker, high jump innovator Dick Fosbury, and basketball coaching legend Slats Gill. New members are inducted each fall, at the Oregon Sports Awards ceremony held in recent years at the Reser Theater in Beaverton, Oregon. ==Scholarships==

As part of its educational mission to promote the values and rewards of participation in sports, the Oregon Sports Hall of Fame in coordination with the McTarnahan Trust grants scholarships given to outstanding Oregon student athletes who will be attending Oregon colleges. Scholarship winners are honored during the Hall of Fame induction ceremony. ==Facility==

From 1986 to 1997, the museum was located in a basement under the Standard Insurance Center in downtown Portland, Oregon. In 1997, the museum moved to a nearby facility featuring of space with hands-on exhibits, videos, and memorabilia, such as Terry Baker's Heisman Trophy (the first Heisman given to a West Coast athlete), Mack Robinson's Olympic jersey, one of Dale Murphy's Golden Gloves, and Bill Walton's jersey from the 1977 Portland Trail Blazers NBA championship game. In mid-2008, StanCorp re-claimed the space containing the museum in order to expand their own office space. The museum then relocated to the headquarters of Oregon Sports Action in Beaverton, Oregon with exhibits viewable in the lobby area of a building that also hosted the offices of multiple amateur sports organizations. That building was replaced in 2019, and the museum is currently closed in preparation for moving to an as-yet determined location. ==Inductees==
