MARYLAND STATE ATHLETIC HALL OF FAME CLASS OF 2016 Brady Anderson Brady Anderson had a 15-year major league career, including playing with the Orioles from 1988 to 2001. Now the club’s vice president of baseball operations, Anderson, 52, still appears all over the Orioles career leader list in categories such as runs (fifth), walks (third), hits (fifth), extra-base hits (fourth), doubles (sixth), and plate appearances (fourth). He held the team record for home runs (50 in 1996) until Chris Davis had 53 in 2013. A .300 hitter in four postseason series, he is one of four major leaguers to hit 50 home runs and steal 20 bases in the same season. The others are Willie Mays, Alex Rodriguez, and Ken Griffey Jr.

Wheeler Baker Born in Chester, Md., Wheeler Baker is considered a legend in powerboat racing. He is a 10-time winner of the American Power Boat Association (APBA) National Championships. An eight-time points champion, Baker was inducted into the APBA Hall of Champions in 1987 and competed for 30 years (1977-2007). Now 69, Baker served stints as a county commissioner (1986 to ’90) and a member of the House of Delegates (1995 to 2003). Today he serves as president of the Kent Narrows Racing Association and chair of the Chesterwye Foundation, which helps adults with developmental disabilities.

Louis Carter An All-Metro performer in football and track at Arundel High, Louis Carter made sure Maryland Terps fans saw some offense while Randy White was dominating on defense. He returned kicks and was the Terps’ leading rusher in 1972, ’73, and ’74, gaining 2,266 yards. Best Offensive Player in the 1973 Peach Bowl, Carter played four seasons in the NFL and threw the first touchdown pass in Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ history. Now 63, Carter has battled health issues and the loss of his wife in recent years and found a new home as a security coordinator at UMBC since 2009.

Gary Jobson Gary Jobson is a world-class sailor, television commentator, and author based in Annapolis. A three-time All-America collegiate sailor, he was part of Ted Turner’s crew (tactician) that won the America’s Cup in 1977 aboard Courageous. He became a sailing analyst for the likes of ESPN and NBC and won two Emmys. In demand as a public speaker, Jobson, 66, is vice president of the International Sailing Federation, president of National Sailing Hall of Fame, which he was inducted into in 2011, and has authored 19 sailing books. Editor at Large of Sailing World and Cruising World magazines, the former Navy sailing coach has led ambitious expeditions to the Arctic, Antarctica, and Cape Horn. Since 1994, Jobson, a cancer survivor, has been national chairman of The Leukemia Cup Regatta program, which has raised over $50 million.

Laurie Schwoy After an outstanding four-sport career at McDonogh, where she broke state soccer records for goals in a season (69) and a career (198) and was 1995 Parade magazine Player of the Year, Laurie Schwoy attended the University of North Carolina. There Schwoy was National Freshman of the Year and helped the Tar Heels to three national championships despite injuries that forced her from the U.S. national team that won the 1999 World Cup. Forced to redshirt in 1999, she helped UNC to the national title in 2000 before playing a season with the Philadelphia Charge of the Women’s United Soccer Association. She returned to McDonogh as an assistant coach for five years and has coached many youth teams. Now 38, Schwoy is a personal trainer and runs soccer camps. On Nov. 3 she becomes the first women’s soccer player inducted into the MSAHOF.

Jack Thomas Jack Thomas is fourth on Johns Hopkins’ career lacrosse point scoring list (224) despite playing only three years. The year he arrived at Homewood (1971) was the last season Hopkins denied freshmen from playing. A three-sport star at Towson High, Thomas led Hopkins to three straight NCAA finals, with the Blue Jays avenging one-goal losses in 1972 and ’73 by winning it all in 1974. Thomas became a teacher like his mother and father, legendary coach William Thomas Sr., who coached 63 All-America lacrosse players and won 14 county titles. The younger Thomas, 64, was The Sun’s Prep Athlete of the Year in 1970, and was inducted into the National Lacrosse Hall of Fame in 1989. He coached at Centennial and Wilde Lake, winning four straight soccer titles, during a 40year teaching career.

John F. Steadman Lifetime Achievement Award

Jim Henneman

In 1958, Jim Henneman joined The News American as a copy boy (writing about native son Al Kaline playing in the 1958 All-Star Game at Memorial Stadium at the behest of late sports editor John Steadman), and eventually worked his way onto the sports staff. He worked at the paper from 1958 to ’68 and 1973 to ’80, carving out a career writing about the Orioles (with a five-year stint on the Bullets beat), before moving to The Evening Sun and later The Sun, from 1980 to ’95. Now Henneman writes for PressBox when he’s not serving as an official scorer at Camden Yards. Author of Baltimore Orioles: 60 Years of Orioles Magic, which was released in 2015, Henneman claims to have seen more Orioles games in person than anyone alive. A left-handed pitcher at Loyola College, he was an usher and press box attendant at Memorial Stadium before beginning his journalism career.

Maryland State Athletic Hall of Fame Foundation was established to celebrate Marylanders’ outstanding accomplishments and promote the ideals as well as the traditions of Maryland athletics and athletes…. In 1956, under the sponsorship of the M Club Foundation, the Maryland State Athletic Hall of Fame inducted its first class of “all-stars” and what a class it was: the inductees included the first modern Olympic champion in discus throw and shot put, Robert Garrett, and baseball greats Babe Ruth, Jimmie Foxx and Frank “Home Run” Baker. Those first members of the State of Maryland Athletic Hall of Fame were inducted at the M Club’s sixth annual banquet on Dec. 13, 1956, at the Lord Baltimore Hotel. Bucky Miller served as chairman and Dr. James E. Salk, the inventor of the flu vaccine, was the recipient of our Distinguished Citizen Award. The Hall of Fame’s list of native-born – and more recently, “adopted” – Maryland sons and daughters, who are some of the region’s and even the world’s greatest athletes, has been growing ever since. To some, a sports hall of fame may not seem like a necessity, viewing it rather like ice cream – unnecessary, but wonderful. But Michael Gibbons, director of the Babe Ruth Museum and The Sports Legends Museum at Camden Yards, which houses the MDSAHOF’s memorabilia and exhibits, sees it differently. He sees the roll of sports halls of fame in several lights: One, as being the collectors of artifacts that represent sports histories and legacies; and two, as having the responsibility of finding a stable home for those artifacts. “The role of museums that represent these Halls of Fame is to house the artifacts of state sports history and use them to help interpret the stories that comprise that history,” Gibbons said. “Sports heritage museums, of which Halls of Fame are a part are different from zoos, science and art museums, because their exhibits focus on local sports heritage. “In a sense, they are more important than other cultural institutions because of that. Interpreting and preserving the legacy of Brooks Robinson has, by my way of thinking, more importance to the Baltimore, Md., community than, say, a shark at the National Aquarium.” Fortunately, for Maryland’s athletes and sports fans, there has been a group of individuals who has worked relentlessly as part of the MDSAHOF board of directors over the past 59 years to ensure the heritage of Maryland’s highest athletic achievers. For the first 34 years of the MDSAHOF’s existence its activities were overseen by the M Club Foundation at the University of Maryland, College Park. In 1956, Charley Ellinger was named president of the M Club Foundation and served as the organization’s first leader until 1963, when D. Chester O’Sullivan became the MDSAHOF’s chairman. O’Sullivan was a man committed to sports. He was the longtime chairman of the Maryland State Athletic Commission and he gained recognition for his efforts to make boxing safer. He led the MDSAHOF through its early years and remained at the helm until 1996. During his tenure, the MDSAHOF was recognized in 1990 by a resolution of the Maryland General Assembly as the state’s official sports Hall of Fame. And during his 33 years of leadership, athletes from 26 different sports, from the traditional baseball, football and basketball to the less familiar skeet shooting, badminton and jousting were among those inducted to the Hall. “Chester O’Sullivan was a conscientious fellow,” said former MDSAHOF board member Vince Bagli, the sports anchor at WBAL-TV for 31 years and considered the dean of broadcast sports journalists in the area. “He worked hard to keep the inductions going. He put the dinner together almost singlehandedly. He kept saying, ‘We have to have more people at our affair’ and we’d say, ‘Chester, come on.’” Bagli, 87, served on the board for about 47 years until his tenure ended in 2012. He remembers the M Club and the University of Maryland being good stewards “that never pressured us” to induct any specific individual.

“We ran the thing like an old boys’ network,” Bagli said. “We had a good group of board members who knew a lot about sports. We did the best we could while we were there.” In the 1960s, the Hall of Fame had its then induction luncheons at The Johns Hopkins Club on the university’s campus. It moved to Martin’s West in the 1980s and at that time a relationship was forged with the Babe Ruth Museum. Gibbons, the Babe Ruth Museum director, worked extensively with Bagli and O’Sullivan to establish the display. One of the longtime major problems of the MDSAHOF to that point was that it had never had a home. In 2005, under the leadership of Jack Scarbath, who became the MDSAHOF board chairman in 1996, the Sports Legends Museum at Camden Yards eliminated that problem. Gibbons recalled the MDSAHOF turned over its collection of memorabilia to the museum to incorporate it into the museum’s archives when they reached an agreement in the 1980s. At that time, the Babe Ruth Museum became responsible for the maintenance, preservation and administration of the Hall’s collection. But it wasn’t until the mid-‘90s, Gibbons said, that “Jack Scarbath worked with the museum to solicit a $25,000 grant from First National Bank to be applied to a permanent display in the museum’s planned Sports Legends Museum at Camden Yards.” In 2005, the Babe Ruth Museum opened Sports Legends, with one of its main features the Maryland State Athletic Hall of Fame gallery. “It was a $130,000 installation featuring a bio on each HOF inductee plus a large display case containing [MDSAHOF] artifacts,” Gibbons said. “The museum raised the balance of the gallery cost. Today, the museum continues to administer the [MDSAHOF] collection as part of its archives, rotating items off and on display, and using those items to interpret the story of Maryland’s unique sports heritage.” Using biographical sketches and photographs of the more than 200 athletes inducted into the Hall, the museum tells the stories of the state’s greatest baseball, football, lacrosse and track stars. Add to that the interesting stories of duckpin bowlers, swimmers, tennis stars and the highest achievers of other sports this gallery aims to engage all levels of sports fans. Rare artifacts, such as Frank “Home Run” Baker’s New York Yankees sweater from 1922, Don Kelley’s 1932 Olympic lacrosse jersey, and Jimmie Foxx’s catcher’s mask and Red Sox warm-up jacket are all on display. When Scarbath, the Maryland Terrapin football All-American, became chairman in 1996, he had already been on the board for more than a dozen years. “I thought I could bring to light various athletes from the past who should have been recognized by the people of Maryland,” Scarbath, now 83, said recently, recalling his days leading a Hall of Fame board that included Bagli; nationally recognized newspaper columnist John Steadman; Ed Athey, the athletic director at Washington College; O’Sullivan; Tom Scott, college football hall of famer; and Bob Scott, athletic director at Johns Hopkins University, a group he described as “gentlemen very interested in athletics” and committed to the organization. But even though it was the efforts of Scarbath and his board that worked out the agreement for a permanent home for the Hall of Fame at the Camden Yards museum, there is no hesitation when he is asked his greatest accomplishment during his 11 years of leadership. “Keeping the whole thing going so people could and can be recognized and given their due,” said the MDSAHOF board member-emeritus. Bagli said Scarbath “should certainly take a bow.” “It was too full of people like me, with age,” Bagli said. “While we were there, we tried to get younger people on the board, but it was hard. And it was hard to get people to be excited about being inducted. Jack was the linchpin. He kept it going. Others were like, ‘Let’s get it over with.’” The board continued to induct athletes in those closing years of Scarbath’s leadership. In November 2005, with the guidance of Sen. Mike Wagner, the induction banquet was moved to Michael’s Eighth Avenue in Glen Burnie – where it is today. That 2005 banquet featured Cal Ripken Jr. (baseball), Otto Greiner (golf), Johnny Klippstein (baseball) and Bill Stromberg (football) and was emceed by media stars Pat O’Malley and Keith Mills. But Scarbath stepped down in 2007 and after the 2006-07 ceremony; the MDSAHOF did not have another induction until 2011. The leadership of the MDSAHOF came into the hands of a new chairman, legendary high school baseball coach Bernie Walter, in 2011. A new board was organized and inductions resumed. Coach Walter describes the re-organized board as “a diverse group of doers, who are leaders in various components of Maryland sports. They are tirelessly working to maintain the memories of Maryland’s greatest athletes.”
