The Mid Mon Valley All Sports Hall of Fame will hold its 24th annual banquet at the St Spyridon Hellenic Center, 1205 Grand Blvd Monessen, PA on Friday, June 16, at 5:30 p.m.
This year, six new inductees will be welcomed into the mythical Sports Hall of Fame, conceived by newspapermen Floyd France and John Bunardzya. With the Class of 2017, the total number of inductees is now 242. The original Mon Valley Sports Writers Hall of Fame started in 1951 with the selection of Stan Musial and Bert Rechichar.
The Class of 2017 is comprised of Don Bartolomucci, Phil Hughes, Joe Margoneri, Scott Nedrow, Daryle Ruby, and Joe Salvino. General Chairman of the Sports Hall of Fame, Steve Russell, called the selections “indicative of the Valley hardnosed-don’t quit mentality in athletic competition.”
Tickets are $45 and seating is limited. To reserve tickets or request program book sponsorship contact Steve Russell, Hall of Fame General Chairman, at 724-258-3823 or email to stephenrussell1106@comcast.net.
