Reggie White, Chuck Klein and Judy Johnson Lead Fan Nomination for Philadelphia Sports Hall of Fame's Fourth Class
Philadelphia, PA (PRWeb) January 25, 2007 -- Eagles legend Reggie White, Phillies all-timer Chuck Klein and Negro League great Judy Johnson currently lead the fan nominations for the Philadelphia Sports Hall of Fame's fourth Inductee Class.
From now through February 16, the public can submit nominees for consideration as inductees into the Philadelphia Sports Hall of Fame. The nominations can be submitted online, via email or on paper through US mail. As part of its nomination process, the Hall of Fame relies heavily on input from fans, with the top publicly submitted nominees included on the election ballot.
Others near the top of the list include Bartram High's Earl "The Pearl" Monroe, former world record-holder Leroy Burrell, boxing hall-of-famer Tommy Loughran, field hockey legends Beth Anders and Karen Shelton, long-time Major League umpire Henry "Shag" Crawford, former Temple lacrosse coach Tina Sloan-Green and legendary basketball coach Herb Magee.
"This year's nominations are proof that Philadelphia boasts some of the nation's most knowledgeable sports fans," states the Hall's Vice President of Foundation Development Steve Tallant. "The Hall of Fame's process is not a popularity contest and these nominees are a true indication of the fans' appreciation for the history of sports in the city."
Public nominations are encouraged to be submitted electronically through the Hall of Fame's web site at (http://www.phillyhof.org/nominee.asp) or via email (nominees @ phillyhall.net). Regular mail can also be used (Philadelphia Sports Hall of Fame, 410 Waverly Road Wyncote, PA 19095).
All nominations must include the nominee's accomplishments and/or contributions along with the submitter's contact information. Nominees must meet the Hall of Fame's inductee qualifications. A list of eligibility requirements is available online at: http://www.phillyhof.org/eligibility.asp
The Philadelphia Sports Hall of Fame is open to athletes, coaches, media, administrators and other contributors in all areas of professional, college, amateur, high school and youth sports. Candidates must be from the Philadelphia area or have performed for a local team and meet certain eligibility requirements in order to be considered.
Hall of Fame nominees are divided into categories based on the era in which they performed: those with the majority of their career within the past 50 years and those prior. The top five publicly submitted nominees meeting the Hall's criteria are automatically included in the final ballot supplied to the Hall of Fame's elective body.
The Hall of Fame's Class IV Induction Ceremony is in November 2007.
