It was all Shell needed to begin a career that put him in the Hall of Fame over 50 years later. During his 14-year NFL career, the hard-hitting safety won four Super Bowls and will become the fifth—and most unlikely—member of the "Steel Curtain" defense to be inducted next month. Donnie Shell played for the Pittsburgh Steelers from 1960 to1973. He started out as a cornerback but was moved to safety because of his ball skills. Shell finished his career with 178 interceptions, which is still a Steeler record. He also has 22 fumble recoveries and two defensive touchdowns recorded during his career. After his football career ended, Shell went on to have a successful business career. He began with a steel company before moving on to an energy company before finally becoming co-owner of the New York/New Jersey Hitmen, a minor league baseball team, in 1977. He remained with this team until it folded at the end of the 1990 season. In 2001, Shell was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease but he continues to play an important role in the organization of several sports teams including the Pittsburgh Pirates. He has been praised for his work with the Alzheimer's Association by receiving multiple awards for his efforts related to this disease. Donnie Shell is being inducted into the National Football Foundation & College Football Hall of Fame this February.
