ANTIOCH SPORTS LEGENDS to INDUCT ATHLETES

Sun, 09/20/2009 - Wed, 10/20/2010
PRESERVING HISTORY – HONORING EXCELLENCE – CONNECTING GENERATIONS

Although Antioch was a small mill town of less than 6,000 people 60 years ago, its enthusiastic support of prep sports began producing a long roster of future professional athletes.  The town nurtured future NFL Hall of Famer Gino Marchetti in the 1940s and in the 1960s.  It sent Gene Rounsaville to the major leagues and Duane Putnam to the NFL.  Today it’s the hometown of Aaron Miles, former second baseman on the 2006 World Series Champion St.

ANTIOCH, CA – Some of this city’s best athletes of the past and a team of standout players will be part of the 2008 slate of inductees into the Antioch Historical Society’s Sports Legends Program Museum. The program – now in its second year - has received widespread acclaim and admiration from the community for its spectacular displays of local sports history and memorabilia, housed in the 2,500 square-foot lower level of the museum building. The five Sports Legends founders were honored as the 2007 Antioch Citizens of the Year.
