The purpose of our hall of fame is not to just have an induction ceremony and forget about our inductees, it’s to honor them forever. If you haven’t noticed, whenever a major sporting event occurs we dig into the archives and relate the major event to our inductees.
Super Bowl Sunday gives us another reason to highlight the incredible men who played or coached in the biggest game on the biggest stage and called Suffolk County home.
We posted the content on Twitter and grabbed the embedded files for this page below.
Not listed with a tweet, but worth mentioning is Walt Michaels, who was a Jets assistant during Super Bowl III.
It's #SuperBowl Sunday, therefore another opportunity for the @SuffolkHOF to talk about its legendary inductees who were lucky enough to play in the big game during their careers. Follow along for the next bunch of tweets to see who we're talking about … and enjoy #SBLIII! pic.twitter.com/nwvNkHsbWM
