Brian Sabean, nearly 30 years after his arrival here, entered the Bay Area Sports Hall of Fame alongside Patrick Marleau, John Taylor, Jenny Thompson and Chris Wondolowski.
Six months after Patrick Marleau entered the San Jose Sports Hall of Fame – alongside Wondolowski – he joined Owen Nolan (2014) as the only Shark in the Bay Area Sports Hall of Fame. He was drafted No. 2 overall in 1997, and his No. 12 jersey was retired last year by the Sharks, for whom he played three stints.
Chris Wondolowski, 41, is this hall of fame’s first San Jose Earthquakes player. He is also the lone member of this year’s class who is a Bay Area native (Danville) and continues to reside here.
John Taylor may be known best for his Super Bowl-winning, last-minute touchdown catch for the 1988 49ers; he won the Super Bowl three times and made the Pro Bowl twice.
On the morning of her BASHOF induction, Jenny Thompson returned to Stanford for a 5:30 a.m. swim. “It was really reminiscent of working your butt off, then seeing the sun rise and the beauty in that,” said Thompson, who won 19 individual and relay titles during her Stanford career from 1991-95, then went on to win 12 Olympic medals, eight gold.
