The Bay Area Sports Hall of Fame on Friday announced its 2019 inductees.
The glittering selections from all corners of the sports spectrum include Dave Dravecky, Brad Gilbert, Jason Kidd, Keena Turner and Tara VanDerveer.
They need no introductions. But let’s do it anyway.
Dravecky pitched in the major leagues for eight years, helping the San Diego Padres and San Francisco Giants to postseason berths in 1984, 1987 and 1989. He is best known for a wrenching misfortune that came his way after the 1988 season.
Doctors discovered cancer in the deltoid muscle of his left (pitching) arm.
