Bond between Dorrance, Hamm strong as ever

Posted Aug 4, 2008

"What took you guys so long?" Mia Hamm asked as she flashed a smile to open the presentation of her former soccer coach, Anson Dorrance. Hamm wasn't talking to Builder selection Dorrance or Veterans pick Hugo Perez, who were inducted into the National Soccer Hall of Fame on Sunday. Instead, she threw the light-hearted jab in the general direction of the Oneonta shrine. In other words, why did it take the Soccer Hall so long to elect Dorrance? (Oneonta Daily Star)
