- Roller_Derby_Hall_of_Fame abstract "The Roller Derby Hall of Fame, also known as the National Roller Derby Hall of Fame, was founded in 1952.Johnny Rosasco and Josephine "Ma" Bogash were the first two skaters to be inducted into the Hall of Fame. The Hall of Fame was initially displayed in Madison Square Garden, and was strongly associated with the sport's founder, Leo Seltzer. Skaters could only be inducted after their retirement. However, four skaters were inducted and then returned to skating: Ann Calvello, Annis Jensen, Ken Monte and Charlie O'Connell.When the International Roller Derby League, by then run by Leo Seltzer's son, Jerry, closed in 1973, the hall of fame also closed. As a result, several acclaimed skaters who had never retired were not inducted into the hall.From the late-1990s, roller derby fan Gary Powers built up a collection of memorabilia, principally through buying and selling on eBay. He made contact with former skaters, including Calvello, and, by early 2004, his house was described by Time Out as an unofficial roller derby hall of fame. In September 2004, it was opened on an official basis, with the blessing of Jerry Seltzer, with Powers named as its executive director. According to Reuters, the re-opened hall of fame "not only honors legends of the game but includes memorabilia like jerseys, tickets, and programs".".
