A tribute to the pioneers of the Women's Professional Basketball League (1978-81)

Women's Basketball Hall of Fame

2002 Induction Ceremony

Cindy Brogdon

Former WBL player Cindy Brogdon (New Orleans Pride) was inducted into the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame in Knoxville on April 27, 2002, officially escorted by the biggest WBL fan who never saw a game (yours truly).  Cindy was very gracious in letting someone she hadn't met before hang around during the festivities.  Some highlights of Induction Ceremony weekend...

The first task was finding a way to haul all of the stuff purchased from the gift shop...

Some familiar faces were in the crowd at the Friday night dinner . . .

"I don't believe the allegations were ever proved..." Legendary University of Tennessee coach Pat Summit is interviewed about her former player Cindy Brogdon

The Hall doesn't have a whole lot on the WBL, but the displays look great . . .
