Tribute to Bob Zide
​The Mid-Ohio Valley Sports Hall of Fame congratulates the family of the late Bob Zide (Bob was responsible for the creation of the MOV Hall of Fame) for Bob's induction into the 2014 National Sporting Goods Association Sporting Goods Industry Hall of Fame at the Hyatt Regency Indian Wells Resort and Spa in Indian Wells, California.
"This year's inductees embody exactly what members of the Aporting Goods Industry Hall of Fame should - integrity, values and a will to succeed and an innovative spirit upon which our industry is built," said Hall of Fame committee Chairman Bob Dickman
