 * Keep there's a good amount of coverage in newspapers available through newspapers.com and many years the induction of new members are covered by various newspapers in South Dakota (and some coverage out of state). Examples (not exclusive but maybe the best I could find in half an hour):
 * State baseball hall of fame to welcome five
 * Hall of fame presents amateur baseball lore, "The facility is thought to be the only one in the country devoted to a state's community baseball lore."
 * Perry to be in Parkston
 * Five to be enshrined in SD baseball hall
 * Lake Norden's claim to fame
 * Move over Cooperstown
 * Amateur shrine keeps baseball memories alive (very connected to the Hall since Mel Antonen is connected to it but probably worthwhile for info to add to the article): "One building stands out the South Dakota Amateur Baseball Hall of Fame. The Hall was built in 1978 because my dad, Ray, a baseball fan, had an unshakeable determination to give his town of 427 a big-league touch. The Hall became his legacy, and every fall a new group of players and umpires is inducted."
 * S.D Hall of Fame Boasts 31 Members
 * Hall of fame (full page photo spread with some text on the opening of the building in 1977)
 * Baseball hall houses memories, tributes
 * Big honors for amateur baseball players
 * bit of coverage from out-of-state of the building opening in 1977 (including a bit about Xerox trying to make a directory of all halls of fame in the US? That mentions this is the only one for amateur baseball at that time.)
 * There's coverage that spans from the 1950s through today. Skynxnex (talk) 21:55, 4 November 2023 (UTC)

 * Keep does seem to have enough local coverage. AryKun (talk) 17:51, 19 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep: new sources seem fine, but the article needs a rewrite to incorporate inline citations. Oaktree b (talk) 21:06, 19 November 2023 (UTC)
