PoliceSoftball.com in conjunction with Dunham Manufacturing are proud to announce the PoliceSoftball.com Hall of Fame ring. The Hall of Fame ring may be purchased by any member of the Police Softball Hall of Fame. It is also a great gift for your Hall of Fame spouse, father or teammate. The ring shown has a year (2007) and a name (Wright). These portions of the ring may be changed to reflect your specific year of induction and name. This year and name were chosen as our sample to honor Shevy Wright who threw out the first pitch at our 2007 World Series. Stone color may also be changed to team color if you prefer. We chose the color blue to represent the thin blue line we are all a part of.

Liberty Park in Sterling Heights Michigan was once again the venue for the annual Wouters/Sawyers Memorial softball tournament. This year, tournament directors Kevin Reese and Andy Wurm were able to sweeten the bounty by securing World Tournament status through USSSA. As tradition dictated, the tournament started off paying tribute to fallen officers Christopher Wouters and Mark Sawyers who had been killed in the line of duty. Once again the families of these officers were recognized and it was a great reminder to all of us the potential sacrifice our profession could ask us to make.
