Kent, Richmond headline 2016 Bay Area Sports Hall of Fame

The Bay Area Sports Hall of Fame is a collection of some of the greatest athletes who not only put their stamp on the local area, but nationally as well.

This year's class, which will be enshrined on May 16 at the Westin St. Francis Hotel, is no different. Former Giants slugging second baseman Jeff Kent and sharp-shooter Mitch Richmond, who excelled on both the Warriors and Kings, headline the group.

Aside from Kent and Richmond, also entering the BASHOF is former Giants managing general partner Peter Magowan, former Raider Raymond Chester and swimming champion Anne Warner Cribbs.
