Hall of Fame
MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. – The Miami Dolphins organization and the 1972 "Perfect Season" Dolphins were inducted into the Bobcat Sports Hall of Fame at the seventh annual Stone Crab Dinner for Athletics on Sunday at the Fernandez Family Center for Leadership & Wellness on the St. Thomas University campus. Former All-Pro Safety Dick Anderson, a member of the 1972 Dolphins, accepted the Hall of Fame award on behalf of the Dolphins organization.
In addition to Anderson, other former Dolphin players in attendance included Larry Ball (1972-74, 1977-78), Mark Duper (1982-92), Roy Foster (1982-90), Jon Giesler (1978-88), Bob Kuechenberg (1970-84), and Ed Newman (1973-84).
The Miami Dolphins were inducted into the Bobcat Sports Hall of Fame in commemoration of the franchise's 50thanniversary. The Dolphins held their training camp on the campus of St. Thomas University from 1970 – 1992. In those 23 seasons, the Dolphins won 229 regular-season games, went to the NFL Playoffs 14 times, made five Super Bowl appearances and won two Super Bowl Championships, including the 1972 "Perfect Season".
The Dolphins organization has been a constant partner for STU's Sports Administration program, which has produced thousands of professionals worldwide throughout the sports industry including many St. Thomas University alumni that have gone on to work for the Dolphins front office. The Don Shula Scholarship was also established and continues to this day, benefitting St. Thomas student-athletes who major in Sports Administration.
The induction of the Dolphins was part of the seventh annual Stone Crab Dinner for Athletics. A crowd of over 500 guests enjoyed an all-you-can-eat Stone Crab Dinner with Bobcat student-athletes serving as wait staff. All proceeds from the event benefited the St. Thomas University Department of Athletics.
