Ron Perkins, 70, of Katy, Texas, Senior Softball USA’s new Texas Umpire In Chief, was inducted into the Texas Senior Softball Hall of Fame on March 22, as part of the 2024 class, (photo right).
Ron was inducted as an umpire, but has worked as a well-known director and player with SSUSA, playing since 2007. “My player credentials were acknowledged, I have enough points to be inducted as a player but I was officially inducted in the umpire category,” said Ron.
“Such a small percentage of people play softball and there is an even smaller percentage of people who play Senior Softball, and I am proud to be a member of the softball world,” stated Ron during his acceptance speech.
“This is a dream come true, and I am very grateful to the Hall of Fame Committee for selecting me,” added Ron about that night.
Along with Ron, the following individuals were inducted in the Texas Senior Softball Hall of Fame: Michael Beard of Montgomery – Woody Benson of Huston – Butch Scattergood of Sugar Land.
