Eddie DeBartolo’s Hall of Fame speech was special
This is Eddie DeBartolo’s Hall of Fame speech. This was a speech we have been waiting for a long time. I personally love all the talk about family and that is what made Eddie D so beloved. But it’s that final story about how Bill Walsh prepared a gift for Eddie D for his induction […]

Welcome to immortality. The 2016 #HOF electees: Ken Griffey Jr. and Mike Piazza. pic.twitter.com/P7MKb3YvT7 — MLB (@MLB) January 6, 2016 I was certain these two would get in and they did.
