Five new members in San Jose Sports Hall of Fame
Five outstanding area athletes and coaches will join the impressive roster of names when the San Jose Sports Hall of Fame inducts new members in ceremonies Nov. 7 at the Compaq Center at San Jose.
Baseball sensation Dave Righetti, motor sports legend Joe Leonard, coaching greats Carroll Williams and John Ralston and the late Ernie Nevers will join the local hall this week.
The five inductees will share the spotlight Wednesday with five other special award winners: High School Athletes of the Year-- Antwon Guidry of Leigh and Undine Becker of Mount Pleasant; Amateur Athletes of the Year-- Andre Carter of Cal and Danielle Slaton of Santa Clara University; and Special Olympian of the Year-- Kelly Anderson of Los Gatos. The Bay Area CyberRays and the San Jose Earthquakes will also receive "exceptional achievement" awards for their championship seasons.
The seventh annual induction ceremony and dinner is already sold out, and more than 800 guests are expected to turn out to honor the five newest inductees, who join an impressive list of Hall of Famers.
The San Jose Sports Hall of Fame was established at the arena in 1995.
