I mean, any time that you’re attached to the same list as Dan Marino, or Chris Evert, or Rocky Marciano, you know it’s a big deal. And I know that I’m getting to the end of my life’s achievements, so this is going to be it. So I’m really, really happy about this, and happy that you and a lot of other people are here to celebrate with me.”
In addition to Steve Shapiro, this year’s hall of fame class included Diana Nyad, an endurance swimmer renowned for being the first person to swim from Cuba to Key West.
