Since 1989, the Sports Hall of Fame has honored local legends who have inspired others with their athletic ability, coaching skills, and/or sports management skills and have raised the level of importance of sports on the Peninsula.
The Hall of Fame, located here at the San Mateo County History Museum, has grown to include more than 250 people including Olympians, professional athletes, coaches, and many others.
This year, the Historical Association will be hosting a reception on Thursday, June 25 at the San Mateo County History Museum. The inductions will take place in the Museum’s historic Courtroom “A”.
