Al Bemiller, Robert Smith to be inducted into Buffalo sports Hall of Fame

The 2015 Greater Buffalo Sports Hall of Fame has two new inductees with significant Bills ties: one as a player, and one as a photographer.

The Greater Buffalo Sports Hall of Fame's 2015 class was announced yesterday, and among the 12 new inductees are two men with ties to the early days of the Buffalo Bills: center Al Bemiller and photographer Robert L. Smith.

Bemiller, now 77, was a standout lineman for three seasons at Syracuse before being drafted in the seventh round - in both the AFL and the NFL - in 1961.
