(FISHKILL, NY) - Chris Pittaro, of the Oakland Athletics will be inducted into the Professional Scouts Hall of Fame (SHOF) on July 1, 2012 at Dutchess Stadium. Pittaro will join the prestigious group of individuals who have embraced the scouting profession with great honor and success throughout their careers.
Criteria for induction includes a minimum of 20 years of pro scouting experience, with selection based on a combination of quantifiable success in the field, contributions made to the game in other areas of the sport whether professional or amateur, and importantly, their involvement and dedication to the local community that is honoring them through induction.

Prior to being named to his new position, Pittaro served as Director of Professional Scouting for five years.

"The honor of inducting scouts that have given their lives to this profession and the game of baseball remains a tremendous privilege," said Tyler Tumminia, Senior Vice President of The Goldklang Group. "Over the past five years, the SHOF has transformed from an idea into an initiative that is widely lauded within the industry. We are proud to continue this tradition of celebrating the careers of these deserving and distinguished scouts."
Pittaro will be inducted into the Scouts Hall of Fame Sunday, July 1, 2012 prior to the Hudson Valley Renegades home game versus the Brooklyn Cyclones.
