san jose sports hall of Fame
For over 25 years, the San Jose Sports Hall of Fame has been one of the Bay Area's most prestigious annual sports recognition events. Administered by the San Jose Sports Authority, the San Jose Sports Hall of Fame has honored over 115 South Bay sports legends including Jim Plunkett, Peggy Fleming Jenkins, Tommie Smith, Brandi Chastain, Bill Walsh, Patty Sheehan, Dave Righetti, Tara VanDerveer, Millard Hampton, Kristi Yamaguchi, Owen Nolan, and Paul Child.
Each year a select group of distinguished athletes and coaches are welcomed into the Sports Hall of Fame at an induction ceremony held at SAP Center at San Jose. Along with honoring the inductees, the Sports Hall of Fame annually recognizes the premier high school and amateur athletes from Santa Clara County as well as the top Special Olympian.
SAP Center at San Jose serves as the home to the San Jose Sports Hall of Fame. Along the walls of the Center’s concourse, beautiful bronze plaques, bearing the likeness of each inductee, are on permanent display. Easily accessible for public viewing, the bronze plaques include narratives of each inductee's accomplishments.
The San Jose Arena Authority, along with Sharks Sports & Entertainment and the City of San Jose, work in partnership with the Sports Authority on the administration of the annual induction event. Event proceeds benefit Special Olympics Northern California and Santa Clara County high schools.
