The D.C. Sports Hall of Fame began in 1980 when Robert (Bob) Sigholtz created the Hall of Stars in RFK stadium to honor D.C.'s top athletes and sports personalities. Since then, the Hall of Stars has honored over 100 figures ranging from players to coaches to executives to journalists. Each year, the Hall Selection Committee selects new figures to be added based on their past accomplishments and contributions to the D.C. sports scene. The names of D.C. Sports Hall of Fame inductees are prominently displayed at Nationals Park, the site of the annual induction ceremony.
