Astros Announce Houston Baseball Media Wall of Fame

The late female sports reporter Anita Martini, who in 1974 fought for the right to interview baseball players in the clubhouse post-game alongside her male counterparts, has been named as the inaugural inductee in the Houston Baseball Media Wall of Honour. The Wall, which will form a display on the broadcast level of the Minute Maid Park press box in Houston, will have one inductee added each season. Those eligible for induction are a former or current Houston Media member who has made a significant impact on sports broadcasting in the city. Martini, the inaugural inductee, was a trailblazer for women in sports journalism. Beginning her career in the 1960s with Houston radio station KTRH, she later became the first female sports anchor in the early 1970s at Houston TV station KPRC.
