Soccer star Mia Hamm has delayed her induction into the Sports Hall of Fame next year due to her pregnancy. Hamm was scheduled to be inducted into the Hall in February in a star-studded event. Her doctors have advised her not to travel that late in her pregnancy, she is reportedly due in the early spring.
She is expected to be inducted in 2008 instead.
"This is a first for us," said Steve Fallon, the Texas Sports Hall of Fame's executive director. "We've never had anybody decline because they're pregnant. Her spokesman said she wants to be inducted very badly."
