The other inductees are former players Mike Patrizi, Larry Price and Steve Young, coach Chuck Roney, and contributors Boyd Sands, Gene Sasse, and Ernie Delp.

Barr, who lives in Haddonfield, has also worked for the New York Mets, Minnesota Twins, Baltimore Orioles, San Diego Padres and Los Angeles Dodgers. During his senior season, he stole 22 bases for Audubon's state-title team.

In his current job, Barr oversees all amateur and international scouting for the Giants.

"It's a real honor to be inducted into the Hall of Fame," Barr said Wednesday by phone. "When I was told I was nominated, that was quite and honor and now to be going in is a real thrill."

Patrizi is a former Inquirer all-South Jersey catcher who hit .441 with three home runs and 19 RBIs as a senior for Pennsauken in 1990, when he was drafted in the fourth round by the New York Mets.

During his professional career he spent four seasons in the Mets' system and one in the Cleveland Indians' system.

Price was a 1981 graduate of Cherry Hill East who was a standout at shortstop and on the mound. As a senior he went 9-2 with an ERA of about 2.00 and pitched a pair of no-hitters while batting .333.

Price earned a scholarship to the University of South Carolina, where he had a .402 career average and appeared in two College World Series.

Young was a 1992 graduate of Cherry Hill East, where he was a second-team Inquirer all-South Jersey selection as a senior at shortstop, batting .548. He was also a catcher for the Cougars.

Young set career records at East for runs (101), hits (134), doubles (28), and batting average (.496). A graduate of Villanova, Young was a four-year starter there and owned a career .341 batting average.

Roney was a high school coach at Cherokee, Haddon Township, Pennsville and Eastern. He also was head coach for two seasons at Glassboro State College, now Rowan University. His overall head-coaching record is 329-221, and his Eastern teams won four consecutive Olympic Conference American Division titles from 1992 to 1995. Roney was named The Inquirer's South Jersey baseball coach of the year in 1994.

Sands, who was executive director of the NJSIAA from 1993 until 2006, is being inducted as a contributor for his job as an administrator, umpire and executive.

Besides his work with the NJSIAA, he spent 30 years as a member of the Camden County Chapter of the New Jersey Baseball Umpires Association (NJBUA) and was president from 1976 to 1979.

Sasse, also going in as a contributor, was a 32-year umpire. His career included seven years in the semiprofessional Penn-Del League and 25 as a member of the Camden County Chapter of the NJBUA umpiring junior college and high school games. He also spent 15 years as the South Jersey high school baseball rules interpreter.

Delp is also entering as a contributor. He was an umpire for more than 20 years on every level from Little League to junior college.

In addition, Delp served as a rules interpreter for the state. He was heavily involved with the Pennsauken Youth Athletic Association, managing at all levels.

Delp established the David Delp Memorial Scholarship in memory of his son. The scholarship is awarded to a Pennsauken High School senior baseball player for "dedication, spirit and high academic standards."

In addition to the Hall of Fame inductees, the Hot Stovers will be honoring its 2009 high school all-star team, South Jersey coach of the year, American Legion most valuable player, and six scholarship recipients, including winners of the Tom Heinkel, Bill Carty and Robert Bobo Memorial Scholarship Awards.

Tickets are $40 and can be purchased by contacting banquet chairman Dave Townsend at 856-424-8545 or Bill Wagner, Hot Stovers president, at 856-767-7170.
