If you haven’t heard of the Sports Faith Hall of Fame yet, don’t be discouraged. It’s only been around for two years.

A local Knights of Columbus member staffed a council-run concession stand during a 2006 Arizona Cardinals game.

But on the bright side, we already have a local face inside of it. Bill Bidwill, owner of the Arizona Cardinals and philanthropist, was inducted Sunday.

Bidwwill’s long-time contributions to the Cardinals, the NFL and charity earned him that spot. His charity work was “conducted in a very quiet, very generous manner,” said Patrick McCaskey, chairman of the Sports Faith International Advisory Board.

Bidwill was one of four 2010 inductees (here’s a musical slideshow of it). He joined:

1. Brian Piccolo — former Chicago Bears running back whose battle with cancer and friendship with Gale Sayers were chronicled in the movie “Brian’s Song”
2. Tom Monaghan — founder of Domino’s Pizza and former owner of the Detroit Tigers
3. John Gagliardi — head football coach at St. John’s University in Minnesota and college football’s all-time leader in wins

The Sports Faith Hall of Fame, in Lake Forest, Ill., was created to recognize and encourage outstanding sports figures who are exemplary role models. It’s a project of Sports Faith International.

The organization makes programs for Catholic and mainstream media networks that feature some of the biggest names in the world of sports.
