San Jose's Golden Standard[edit]
Established in 1995, the San Jose Sports Hall of Fame honors those who have made extraordinary contributions in the sports world. Each inductee meets at least one of the following criteria:
- Developed his or her skills in Santa Clara County
- Played or coached for a county team or school
- Represented the county as an individual athlete
- Contributed in some extraordinary way to greater San Jose community in a sports-related program or project
The public may nominate candidates, and inductees are selected by the San Jose Sports Hall of Fame Board of Directors. Each inductee is recognized with a bronze plaque permanently installed on the concourse at the SAP Center at San Jose. Including the 2023 inductees, there are 126 South Bay sports icons enshrined in the Hall of Fame.
Enshrined and Celebrated[edit]
The annual induction is an event of the San Jose Sports Authority, San Jose Arena Authority, SAP Center Management/San Jose Sharks, and the City of San José. The event benefits Special Olympics Northern California and high school sports programs.
