LeBeau a step closer

LATROBE, Pa. ? Nice guys can finish first.
This has been quite a summer for Dick LeBeau.
In late June, LeBeau was honored at his alma mater ? London High School ? with a gala dinner to name a field house in his honor. He also received a high school football athlete?s highest possible accolade ? he had his jersey number retired.
Just days before that event, LeBeau found out that he was chosen to be inducted into the Sports Hall of Fame where he had shined on the collegiate gridiron ? Ohio State University. The official ceremony for that honor will take place next month.
On Tuesday, London?s Legend of the Fall took his first giant step toward the place that would give him the top honor that can be bestowed upon a member of the National Football League fraternity. The call came that LeBeau was being named a finalist by the Seniors Committee for possible induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame?s Class of 2010.
Before LeBeau and his Pittsburgh Steelers comrades took the field for practice Tuesday, head coach Mike Tomlin gathered his squad together as he always does. But this time it was to break the news that the Super Bowl Champions? beloved defensive coordinator was inching closer to the hallowed halls in Canton.
"I thought to myself, ?Did I hear what I thought I heard," said LeBeau of his thoughts when Tomlin made the announcement. "It was quite a day ? quite a surprise."
A surprise to LeBeau, but a long-day coming for those who have admired the work of the player and coach ? now starting his second half-century in the NFL.
The recognition serves as some sense of long overdue validation for LeBeau?s outstanding 14-year playing career ? all as a cornerback with the Detroit Lions. His 62 interceptions still ranks seventh in NFL history. Former Cincinnati Bengals defensive back Ken Riley is the only player with more career interceptions than LeBeau that has yet to be enshrined in Canton.
