KRC Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Good for Abe. He was an excellent lineman and deserves the honor. He was part of the three-player deal that gave Buffalo owner Jim Breuil a minority ownership in the Browns. FYI: Al Dekdebrun is receiving the Pride of WNY award from the Greater Buffalo Sports Hall of Fame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KRC Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Well it's about GD time! (care to share some knowledge bout good ol Al?) Seriously. I am surprised that they honored him, since he passed away a few years ago. They seem to hesitate honoring people that have passed. That is why you will never see Chet Mutryn inducted. He was the first major signing by Red Dawson (Dawson was hired late after Sam Cordovano resigned). Al only had a short time with the Buffalo Bisons in 1946 (8 games, I think). Excellent ball player and was highly touted coming out of college. In fact, he was going to play in Canada after losing over a year of college eligibility, but Dawson convinced him to sign with the Bisons (at the Ithaca Airport). After Buffalo, he went to the Chicago Rockets and then the New York Yankees (the football variety) and the Boston Yanks. He then crossed the border and led the Argos to a Grey Cup championship.
