Fred Inglis grew up in Shelby, and a lot of people around Oceana County know him and love him.

Fred Inglis during his days at KTVU Fox 2 in the San Francisco Bay Area.

But relatively few folks have a full appreciation of the amazing things he accomplished and experienced during his 22 years as a television sports anchor and reporter for KTVU Fox 2 in San Francisco.

He covered two National Football League teams (San Francisco 49ers, Oakland Raiders), two Major League Baseball teams (San Francisco Giants, Oakland Athletics), a National Hockey League team (San Jose Sharks), and a National Basketball Association team (Golden State Warriors), not to mention the major sports programs at the University of California, Stanford and other colleges in the area.

Inglis, a two-time Emmy Award winner, was there to witness and cover a lot of historic moments and legendary athletes. He was a longtime friend of Jerry Rice and chronicled his career from beginning to end. He was there to greet Barry Bonds at home plate when the Giants slugger broke the all-time home run record. He has a ton of great stories like those to share.
