The ceremony for the opening of the Padres Hall of Fame presented by Sony took place today at noon. President and CEO Mike Dee was the master of ceremonies, which is never a good start to any ceremony. After nearly five minutes of name dropping and mentioning of sponsors he finally got around to introducing the actual Hall of Famers.
Randy Jones, Dave Winfield, Garry Templeton were in attendance. Alicia Gwynn and Claudia Williams (daughter of Ted) were also there. Nate Colbert has been fighting illness recently and couldn't be there.
Dee says are three phases to the Hall of Fame.
