The National Jewish Sports Hall of Fame held its 2009 induction ceremony yesterday. Among the honorees (though not necessarily in attendance) were ESPN’s Linda Cohn; NFL trainer Ed Block; former New England Patriot Andre Tippett; writer Dick Schaap (posthumously); Olympic weightlifter Gary Gubner’ Olympic swimmer Dara Torres; and Marvin Miller, the trailblazing former executive director of the MLB Players. Newsday ran a nice little piece on the afternoon’s affair.
