Dan Dierdorf grew up a mile and change from the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio. He went to the groundbreaking in 1962. What he never would have guessed on that day was that 34 years later, after a stellar career both at Michigan and then with the St Louis Cardinals, he himself would be putting on a gold jacket and finding his place among the immortals of the game.

Oh, and 12 years on Monday Night Football with Al Michaels. Great stories from a legend.
