DON WEBSTER OF CHATSWORTH, CA HAS BEEN INDUCTED INTO THE USSSA HALL OF FAME IN THE SPECIAL CATEGORY.

RECOGNIZED AS ONE OF THE EARLY PIONEERS OF BIG TIME SOFTBALL ON THE WEST COAST, IT WAS WEBSTER’S STRONG ADVOCACY OF THE USSSA PROGRAM OVER THAT OF RIVAL ASSOCIATIONS THAT PUT HIS TEAM, CAPITOL INSULATION/BROKEN DRUM, INTO 13 USSSA MEN’S WORLD SERIES, AND OTHER TOURNAMENTS IN 26 STATES. HIS TEAMS IN THE WEST WERE CONSIDERED ON PAR WITH HOWARD'S WESTERN STEER IN THE WORTH AND SNYDER’S IN THE MIDWEST.

HE WAS THE 1986 RECIPIENT OF THE USSSA AWARD OF MERIT FOR HIS OUTSTANDING AND CONTINUING SUPPORT OF THE USSSA PROGRAM.

WEBSTER’S PLAYERS REMEMBER HEM AS A MAN WHO WOULD PAY THE FREIGHT AND STILL SERVE AS THE TEAM ‘BA BOY’ IF NEEDED. HE HAS TAKEN HIS RIGHTFUL PLACE ALONGSIDE THREE OF HIS TEAM MEMBERS: ELBY BUSHONG, MIKE CELLURA, AND RON WHITTLETON, IN THE USSSA HALL OF FAME.
