After waiting over 20 years, San Jose Sharks’ GM Doug Wilson is finally in the Hockey Hall of Fame.

When current San Jose Sharks general manager Doug Wilson retired from playing in the NHL, the world was quite different.

In 1996, his first year eligible for the Hall, the New York Yankees ended an 18-year drought to become World Series Champions. The Chicago Bulls were once again dominating the NBA with their second edition of the three-peat.

And the cost of a 30-second Super Bowl commercial was only a cool $1,085,000.
