Page 8 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, January 3, 2020 Golden Tornado Club hosts 33rd By Steve Freker Y ou could say that the biennial (don’t call it biannual!) Golden Tornado Club Hall of Fame banquet is like one of those vintage record stores. Call it the “Skippy White’s” of Malden High sports. In any given year, when the Hall convenes at the Malden Moose on Broadway, you can be witness to visits to the storied past as well as revel in some of the not so long ago tales of Tornado lore... and some really great stuff from the present. Above all, those who attend get to relive some of the greatest hits from the book of Malden High School athletics. The doors swung open recently once again when the 33rd Hall of Fame banquet and ceremony was held at the Malden Moose Hall with a packed house of nearly 300 in attendance. Eight former Malden High standout athletes, spanning history from the 1950s to the 2000s, were inducted, as well as the winningest baseball team in Golden Tornadoes history.
