S.C. American Legion Baseball held its fourth annual Athletics Hall of Fame ceremony last Thursday at the Moore Building.
The 8-member induction class included Chapin/Newberry Post 193/24 Athletics Director Robert Livingston. Presented by his son Andrew, Livingston oversaw Post 193/24’s 2015 World Series championship run and has helped provide affordable, community-based youth and amateur baseball throughout the Midlands.
The SCALB also inducted SCALB co-founder former West Columbia Post 79 commander Billy Oswald, the brother of state chairman and director Legree Oswald and recognized longtime Airport and West Columbia Post 79 announcer Craig O’Dell.
O’Dell announced his retirement from the booth after serving more than 27 years for Airport High School, Cayce Post 130 and West Columbia.
Rounding out the list of inductees were Florence Post 1 head coach Derek Urquhart, Bob Paulling, Steve Skinner, Tommy E. Ford and former Major League Baseball All-Star Gorman Thomas.
