National Italian-American Sports Hall of Fame
National Italian-American Sports Hall of Fame Review
Founded by George Randazzo in 1978, the NIASHF's mission is to honor Italian-American athletes. Among the first to be honored was baseball player Joe DiMaggio. A sample of the other inductees include Rocky Marciano, Yogi Berra, Mary Lou Retton, and Phil Rizzuto. First housed in Elmwood Park, then Arlington Heights, with the help of Chicago native and CEO of the Phoenix Suns Jerry Colangelo it came to Little Italy in 1994. If you are interested in relics like Rocky Marciano's first heavyweight championship belt, the last coat worn by Vince Lombardi as the legendary Green Bay Packers coach, or Mario Andretti's Indy 500 race car, this is your kind of place.
