I attended the ceremonies the year he was inducted. I thought it to be odd that he followed Tommy Lasorda, but he gave a very nice speech. Niekro seems to be one of the good guys in the game.

Joe Niekro pitched against Boston. All I remember was thinking, "Who is this guy pitching? I throw harder than him." : D And I was 11 at the time. He threw 7 good innings and got the win.
