PANAMA CITY BEACH, Fla. – The NSA/BPA Hall of Fame will welcome five new members tonight, Thursday, November 12, 2026, during the National Convention in Panama City Beach, Florida.

The Class of 2026 includes a player, a director and three umpires from five states. Together, they represent three ways to make a lasting contribution to the game: competing on the field, calling the game and creating opportunities for others to play.

The 2026 NSA/BPA Hall of Fame inductees are:

• Joe Horvath — Player, Indiana

• Steve Humphries — Director, Washington

• Tony Clayborn — Umpire, Michigan

• Greg Birt — Umpire, Illinois

• Kathy Presley — Umpire, California

Tonight’s ceremony gives the softball community a chance to hear the stories behind those names and celebrate the people who lived them. For the teammates, fellow umpires, directors, friends and family who shared in those journeys, it’s a chance to see five people they know and respect take their place in the Hall of Fame.

Congratulations to Joe, Steve, Tony, Greg and Kathy on their induction into the NSA/BPA Hall of Fame.

Also tonight, the board of directors will announce the newest members who have been elected into the Hall of Fame this year, and will be inducted in 2027.
