From world-class equestrians who competed at Devon, to world-famous competitors who once called Delaware County home, the  museum inside the Radnor Township Municipal Building has memorabilia and photos of some truly inspiring athletes, reports Pat Gallen for CBS3.

“The common denominator, the common theme is that these are Delaware County athletes that achieved something on the international or national scale,” Sports Legends of Delaware County Museum executive Jim Vankonski said.

The Sports Legends of Delaware County Museum has seven galleries with some very well-known stars of yesteryear celebrated.

“We have the Mickey Vernon, Danny Murtaugh gallery devoted to baseball,” Vankonski said. “We have a wide world of women’s sports gallery devoted to our female athletes from Delaware County. And we have our Emlen Tunnell football gallery.”

“We have two managers from Delaware County that have won World Series,” Vankonski said. “We have the Mike Scoscia game-worn jersey right there, No. 14. And then we have a jersey from Danny Murtaugh, No. 40.”

Maybe the most surprising piece of history is that there are so many gold medal winning athletes from Delco, nine in total.
