Joe Willie Namath (left), quarterback of the Super Bowl champion New York Jets, and San Diego Chargers quarterback John Hadl posed with Tacoma Athletic Commission's Stan Naccarato (center) in February, 1969. Fresh off an upset victory in the third Super Bowl, Mr. Namath was in Tacoma as the featured guest at the 10th annual Washington State Sports Hall of Fame gala held on February 17, 1969. The sold-out show also had actor Hugh O'Brian as another featured guest, along with sports luminaries John Hadl, Dee Andros, Jim Sweeney and Kaye Hall. Kaye Hall, the 1968 Olympic gold medal swimmer from Tacoma, was named State Athlete of the Year during the evening's festivities. ALBUM 9.
