We’re 24 hours away from Eddie DeBartolo’s formal enshrinement in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, which should bring with it a pretty great speech. DeBartolo will be introduced by his daughter Lisa. He has said if Bill Walsh had lived, the coach would have probably been his choice of introduction. Back in 1993, DeBartolo provided the intro for Walsh on his own special day. The 49ers tweeted out the video below, and here is a transcription for those who can’t watch it.
Our deepest congratulations to today’s inductees and the inductees from the past. Bill Walsh became head coach of the San Francisco 49ers 14-and-a-half years ago.
