To clearly understand its accomplishments you must first realize what ASA is, what it does, and the goals it seeks. ASA is a non-government, non-partisan and non-profit organization, accepting all who qualify as amateurs, regardless of sex, color, creed or national origin. It is an organization of men and women who voluntarily associate themselves in the interest of amateur sports, particularly softball.

ASA is on organization with affiliation with other amateur organizations all of notional scope but, in no way dependent upon any other organization for policy or administration. Its finances cannot be expended to the advantage of any individual or group of individuals, but only to the improvement or expansion of ASA itself, and, its membership.

The membership of ASA is a cross section of the United States, from this membership comes its officers and volunteers. There are nine area vice presidents heading nine areas into which the ASA membership is divided. There are 100 state and metropolitan commissioners who administer the ASA activities, programs and rules. In addition there are some 2500 district and deputy commissioners also serving on o voluntary basis, none of whom receive a salary or stipend. An adequate but small national office staff is employed to administer the policies and functions of the ASA.

Since 1933 the ASA has developed and promoted softball on an organized basis, softball once a sport that was played under no less than twelve different sets of rules on a notional basis today, is played under one set of rules in over forty countries. Standardization and uniformity of the playing rules and, the ASA, are primarily the reason that softball today, is played the world over on such an organized basis that many other amateur sports have followed softball’s pattern. Over 25 million adults and youngsters play annually in the United States some form of competitive and recreational softball.

For over 35 years the ASA has developed and promoted organized and championship softball in the United States, as governing body for the sport in the United States it carries on important responsibility to the participating teams, players, officials and sponsors to regulate competition and to assure fairness and equal opportunity to all who participate under the ASA banner.

She went on to obtain her Administrative Credential, a Counseling Credential and a Master’s degree and became the Dean of Girls at Fresno High School and later the first female Principal in the San Joaquin Valley.

Carlton Benton

Carlton Benton

Carlton Benton

Former Florida and West Central Florida ASA Commissioner Carlton Benton, Jr. (also affectionately known as “Big ‘Un” and CB) passed away on July 5, 2022.

As a Navy brat, Carlton was born on June 14, 1947, in Jacksonville, FL. He had many fond memories of growing up in Fallon, NV, and Puerto Rico. In 1961, after his father’s retirement from the U.S. Navy, his family settled in Lakeland, FL. He loved his days at Kathleen High School and remained in contact with many of his fellow Red Devils.

In 1974 he found his calling and began a rewarding and much loved 30-year career with the City of Lakeland. Through these years he thrived in a variety of roles with a passion for both youth and adult sports programs. He had a great love for sports officiating, and you can find him on a variety of fields or courts. In 1986 he jumped into the national softball scene by attending the Amateur Softball Association National Council Meeting in Hawaii, making Lakeland’s first bid on a national tournament. His trip was a success, and the next year Lakeland hosted the ASA Men’s Major Industrial National Tournament. This tournament would be the first of many to make a significant positive economic impact on the area. He would continue to pursue his passion for softball by serving as the commissioner for West Central Florida ASA and eventually in his current role as the State Commissioner for USA Softball Florida. His dedication and love for the softball community was unparalleled.

Another passion of his was coaching girls’ volleyball. In the fall of 1984, many special memories (and maybe a few frustrations) were made when he coached Natalie’s high school team. It brought him much joy to have started Polk County’s first travel volleyball program that continues to thrive today.

He enjoyed traveling with a particular love of out west including Yosemite and Yellowstone National Parks. He truly had a love for people and helping others. He was known for his great sense of humor and big heart. He was especially gifted in the area of sarcasm and eye rolling.

His greatest love and source of pride was his two daughters and two granddaughters.

Carlton was greeted in heaven by his parents Carlton and Mable Benton, and his especially loved Aunt Clara and Aunt Mary.

Survivors include his wife Wanda of nearly 30 years, daughters Natalie (Larry) Connell of Thomasville, GA; Michelle (Davy) Beerman of Lakeland; Granddaughters Harli and Lauren; Brothers Andrew (Diana) Young and Clinton (Linda) Benton; Brother-in-law Bill (Dorie) Koch. Nieces and Nephews “Little” Andy (Go Cowboys!), Cali B., Miranda, Jami, and Lisa and many loved cousins and other extended family members and friends.

Carlton to softball was an innovator. One of his ideas was to create the JO Cup for ASA girls fastpitch. He wrote legislation for it and when it was shot down he stood up at the microphone and announced, “Well I am running it anyway!”

Joan Joyce

The softball community in mourning the loss of National Softball Hall of Fame member and Florida Atlantic University (FAU) Head Softball Coach, Joan Joyce, who passed away on Saturday, March 26, 2022. She was 81 years old.

Softball is a team sport. But Hall of Famer Joan Joyce dominated it if it was an individual sport during a 21-year career for the Orange, CA Lionettes and the Raybestos Brakettes, Stratford, CT. Born August 19, 1940, Joyce made her debut with the Brakettes in 1956 and played for them through 1963. From 1964-1966, she compiled a record of 80 wins and six losses pitching for the Orange, CA Lionettes. She re-joined the Brakettes in 1967 and remained until retiring after the 1975 season. As a Brakette, she won 429 games and lost 27 and struck out 5,677 batters in 3,397 innings. She hurled 105 no-hitters and 33 perfect games. Besides being a great hurler, Joyce also was one of the game’s all-time top hitters, finishing her career with a .327 batting average that included leading the Brakettes in batting times six times (1962, 1960, 1967-1969, 1973). Her highest single season average was .406 in 1973. She was a member of 12 national championship teams and 18 times was named an ASA All-America. Eight times she shared or won outright the MVP award in the Women’s National Championship. In 1974, Joan led the Brakettes to the world title in the third ISF Women’s World Championship. She was inducted into the ISF Hall of Fame in 1999. Named by Sports Illustrated that year as the 13th greatest sports figure in Connecticut history.

“Joan Joyce was one of those rare people to enjoy success as both a player and a coach. After concluding an illustrious playing career that spanned parts of four decades in numerous sports, Joyce was named Head Softball Coach at FAU in 1994. The 2022 season was her 28th with the Owls. She was the only FAU softball head coach in program history, racking up 1,002 wins and eight Conference Coach of the Year titles in three different conferences along the way. Under Joyce, the program’s accomplishments are unparalleled: eight-consecutive Conference Championships (1997-2004) – 12 in all (2006, 2007, 2016, 2018) – and eight straight NCAA Tournament appearances (1997-2004) – 11 in all (2006, 2015, 2016).”

E.T. Colvin

E.T. Colvin

Elton Thomas Colvin, Jr., “ET” to friends and family for over 70 years, was born in Columbus, MS, on December 17, 1948 to Elton and Annie Will Colvin. His grandparents were N.B. and Pearl Elizabeth Wright, and Archie and Sally Colvin.

After graduating from S.D. Lee High School in 1966, E.T. attended the University of Alabama, where he earned three letters as pitcher on a baseball scholarship. He also met his future wife before being drafted into the U.S. Army where he served in Okinawa, Japan, until his father’s death. Only three years after his return to the U.S., his mother passed leaving Linda and himself to help raise his two younger sisters. In 1974 ET and T Trucking was established and still operates today.

E.T. loved the game of softball. During his 18 year career, he played on a major level and in four ASA National Championships. In 1990 he became the State Commissioner of Mississippi ASA Softball and served in that position until retiring in November 2021. E.T. served on National and International positions. On the National Level, he served as a Regional Director, Regional Vice President, and had the honor of being elected USA Softball National President. E.T. was one of only three men to ever hold this position twice. For 21 years he served on the National Board of Directors for USA Softball and was inducted into the USA Softball National Hall of Fame 2010. E.T. not only promoted the sport of softball by traveling to 41 states but also internationally to 13 countries. On the International Level,  he served as North American Vice President of the Pan American Softball Confederation and sat on the Board of Directors for the International Federation for 7 years as the North American Vice-President.

Family was the most important part of E.T.’s life. He is survived by the love of his life, his wife of 52 years, Linda; a son Erik Todd Colvin; a daughter Monica Lynn Woolbright; his grandchildren, whom he called “my guardian angels”: Ethan Tanner Colvin, Macy Dean Colvin, Jayme Lee Woolbright, Kaydi Lynn and Corey Boone; a great grandson Scott Thomas Boone and a great grand daughter Kendell Faye Selvie. E.T. also leaves his sisters Linda Duncan (Larry) and Sarah Davidson Griffin. He is preceded in death by his parents, grandparents, sister Annie Pearl Wozniak, brother-in-law James Griffin, and son-in-law Thomas Stuart Woolbright.

Colvin’s contributions to USA Softball were instrumental. He first became involved in the sport as a Slow Player at the Major level before beginning his tenure as Commissioner for USA Softball of Mississippi in 1992 – a position he held until his retirement earlier this year.

In addition to his involvement in the sport at a local level, Colvin served as President of USA Softball for two terms while also being a part of the Board of Directors for over 20 years. Additionally, Colvin represented the United States at the International level as the North American Vice-President for the International Softball Federation (ISF). Colvin’s dedication to the game was later recognized as he was inducted to the National Softball Hall of Fame as a Commissioner in 2010. Survived by his wife, Linda Colvin, and other family members, Colvin’s legacy at USA Softball is one that will far extend beyond his years.

The National Softball Hall of Fame and Museum was established in 1957. Once USA Softball moved to Oklahoma City January 1, 1966 after having its offices in Newark, NJ, the decision to establish a Hall of Fame Building in Oklahoma City was made in January of 1965. Groundbreaking ceremonies for the Hall of Fame were held December 19, 1970 in Oklahoma City. The late John Nagy, former Cleveland Metro commissioner, was USA Softball President at that time. Hall of Famers Harold (Shifty) Gears and Carolyn Thome Hart were among those attending the ceremonies.

The National Softball Hall of Fame was officially dedicated May 26, 1973 in Oklahoma City. The building was opened to the public July 1, 1973.

The first of two additions to the National Softball Hall of Fame/USA Softball Headquarters was started July 5, 1976 and completed July 13, 1977 for an additional 4,350 square feet of space. Dedication ceremonies for the expansion were held July 23, 1977. Counting the National Softball Hall of Fame/USA Softball Headquarters and the USA Softball Hall of Fame Complex, there is 28,406 square feet of space.

A second expansion was added July of 1980 for an additional 5,182 square feet of space, with total footage 18,140 square feet of space.

The National Softball Hall of Fame and Museum has over 400 members with two categories of membership: players and non players. Within the player category, there are five categories: Men’s/Women’s Fast Pitch, Men’s/Women’s Slow Pitch and Modified Pitch. Within the non player category, there are five different divisions one can be nominated in: Commissioner, Meritorious Service, Umpire, Managers and Sponsors. A nominee needs 75 percent (nine votes) of the votes cast by the 12 member Hall of Fame Committee to be elected. Annual inductions are held at the USA Softball Annual Meeting.

Lovieanne Jung

An Olympic Gold and Silver Medalist as well as a two-time Pan American Games Gold Medalist and World Champion, Lovieanne Jung was one of the best and smartest infielders to ever play the game. As an eight-year team member of the United States Women’s National Team, Jung served as ‘quarterback’ of the U.S. defense, calling all coverages and positioning the defense for opposing offenses. Her tremendous skill set combined with her knowledge of the game allowed her to be the most proactive player on the field, always seeing things before they occurred in the game. Jung was a part of the 2004 U.S. Olympic Softball Team, dubbed “The Real Dream Team”, that dominated their way to the Gold Medal in the Athens Olympic Games and earned a spot in the U.S. Olympic Hall of Fame. Jung played the role of a true leader, demonstrating an admirable work ethic and always being an accountable teammate. Dedication, passion, and hard work are only a few of Jung’s championship traits, though, as service and taking care of people are both things she partakes in today. Jung currently works as a firefighter for the Riverside Fire Department while continuing to serve the sport of softball as an Elite Representative on the Women’s Selection Committee.

Terry Muck

The resume of Fast Pitch Softball player Terry Muck clearly reveals he was one of the best of his era. He was barely 5’6 inches tall and perhaps weighed 150 pounds, but Muck was a mountain of a man as a fast pitch softball player. A five-time All-American and a nine-year member of the legendary Home Savings team, Muck and his teammates made 11 ASA National Championship appearances. Muck was the premier middle infielder of his time with a range that allowed few balls through the infield. Known for his small size and impressive speed, Muck encompassed the perfect attributes for a leadoff hitter while providing power that allowed him to occasionally shift to 3-hole in the Saver lineup. In addition to his All-American honors, Muck was named the 1973 national leading hitter while also earning a feat as the 1976 national homerun leader. Aside from his outstanding skill as a softball player, Muck was better known as an outstanding individual with great integrity and character.

Bill Pfeiffer

Known as an absolute powerhouse on both sides of the field, Roberson slugged over 2,000 homeruns in his 14-year playing career, totaling a season high of 672 in his 1987 season. In addition to hitting the long ball, Roberson was an RBI machine, averaging around 20 RBIs a game. Roberson earned ASA accolades 11 times during his storied career, including Outstanding Defensive Player at the 1990 ASA Super Nationals. He was a member of six ASA Super National Championships, two National MVP awards, two National Defensive MVP awards and 27 National/World Championships.

Carl Rose

Carl Rose

Carl Rose is synonymous with homerun, totaling over 2,300 long balls throughout his playing career –– a feat that earned him eight All-American selections. A two-time batting leader and three-time homerun leader, Rose became one of few players in history to lead the country in both categories with a .751 batting average and 240 homeruns during his 1991 season. With a playing career that spanned over 15 years, Rose collected 20 All-World Selections with two National MVP awards and one Defensive MVP award. Aside from his dominance on the field, Rose was an unselfish teammate that was well-known and well-liked on and off the field. Following his storied slow pitch softball career, Rose’s legendary power at the plate landed him a signature bat, the Carl Rose Lighthouse Bat –– a Worth best seller.

 

 

Natasha Watley

One of the most powerful athletes to ever play our sport, Natasha Watley embodies every characteristic of a USA Softball Hall of Famer. A career with the United States Women’s National Team that spanned nine years, Watley became an immediate gamechanger for Team USA. With the ability to hit for power and average while also using her speed in the short game, Watley was the true definition of a triple threat, making her one of the most feared hitters for any defense. In addition to her offensive dominance, Watley shined as an All-American short stop with a range that allowed few balls to reach the outfield. As a member of the storied 2004 Olympic Softball Team that dominated at the Athens Olympic Games, Watley and her teammates were inducted into the U.S. Olympic Hall of Fame. With an Olympic Gold and Silver Medal, three World Championship titles and two Pan American Games Gold Medals, Watley’s accomplishments speak for themselves –– but it was her humility, class, pride and passion for the game that set her apart. After retiring from the sport in 2010, Watley continues to be an inspiration and leader in her work with the Natasha Watley Foundation bringing her knowledge, passion, and hope to the next generation of young ladies. Watley also continues to give back to the sport through motivational speaking and coaching.

ASA Men’s Major Fast Pitch Regionals

ASA national championships started in 1933. At that time, teams that wanted to play, did so under their local ASA guidelines. Some local associations required teams to win state championships, so associations just sent teams. The tournament was getting very big. ASA mandated starting in 1942, that only regional champions along with the defending champion and a host team would be allowed to participate in the ASA nationals.

The country was divided up into regions comprising states and metro associations. Each state or metro had their individual championship and that winner went on to play in their particular regional championship against the other champions from their region. The regional winner was the only team that qualified to participate in the ASA nationals. This scenario took place and brought the best of the best to the ASA national championships each year.

The regional championships started in 1942 and went all the way up until the late 1980s early 1990s. At that time, fastpitch was slowly dwindling and the ASA became less strict on letting teams participate. They decided to have as many teams as possible participate in their nationals. The major class started the regionals, soon the class A, then class B and class C followed. By the late 1990s, the regionals no longer existed.
