CANTON, OHIO – Eddie DeBartolo Jr. sat perched on the backseat of a burgundy Cadillac El Dorado convertible with the license plates “MADE4ME.”
Sitting next to his daughter and presenter, Lisa, Eddie waved to the thousands of fans who lined the streets of downtown Canton for the Hall of Fame parade. Saturday morning’s event was another staple in the annual enshrinement week festivities.
“I can’t even explain it. It’s surreal,” DeBartolo said at the parade before admitting that he’s exhausted from the week’s busy schedule. “I’m starting to get my voice back. I’m pooped.”
DeBartolo had another early morning on Friday for a “class picture” taken in front of the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
