Babe Ruth League President/CEO Steven Tellefsen said, "Don Edwards has been involved with our program for over 40 years.  He is a very dedicated volunteer and plays a major role in the success the organization enjoys today.  It is a proud moment to have a person of his caliber inducted into the Hall of Fame."

Don Edwards started in Babe Ruth Baseball in 1956 as a manager in the Moundbuilders Babe Ruth League - a position held for seven years. Don was elected President of the Moundbuilders Babe Ruth League in 1963, a position he held throughout 1997. He has also been honored as a lifetime Board Member of the Local Babe Ruth League in Ohio, and the field the league uses is now named Donald Edwards Park in his honor.
