List Of National Lacrosse Hall Of Fame Members
The members of the National Lacrosse Hall of Fame are inducted by US Lacrosse and are enshrined at the Lacrosse Museum and National Hall of Fame on the campus of Johns Hopkins University. Members have been inducted into the National Hall of Fame annually since 1957. The Lacrosse Museum and National Hall of Fame were rededicated in 1997, as part of the expansion of the US Lacrosse headquarters.
Individuals are nominated in four distinct categories: players, coaches, officials/umpires, and contributors. The annual number of inductees is limited to five male and five female honorees. A nomination committee is responsible for reviewing the candidates' qualifications and selecting 25 men and 25 women who they believe are best qualified for election. After it is further narrowed down to 15 men and 15 women, the US Lacrosse Board of Directors makes the final determination of who will be the year's inductees. Each year, the nominating and voting process takes place from January through April. The annual class of inductees is publicly announced over Memorial Day weekend in May (in conjunction with the NCAA Men's Final Four held the same weekend). They are then officially inducted at a ceremony in October.
In 1992, Rosabelle Sinclair, a pioneer of the women's game, was the first woman to be inducted into the Hall of Fame. Since Sinclair, there have been 76 other woman inductees, and, combined with 287 men, there are 364 total inductees as of the 2010 class.

roots of pine trees pushed through the pale curves of your ribs,
yellow blossoms flourished above you in autumn, and in winter
frost heaved your bones in the ground—old toilers, soil makers:
O Roger, Mackerel, Riley, Ned, Nellie, Chester, Lady Ghost.”
