SAN FRANCISCO

The fourth time proved to be the charm for Eddie DeBartolo Jr.

The former owner of the San Francisco 49ers has been voted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Brett Favre and the late Ken Stabler, a pair of kindred-spirit QBs who each won a Super Bowl, also were among the seven elected on Saturday.

Also voted in for the class of 2016 a day before the Super Bowl were modern-day players Kevin Greene, Marvin Harrison and Orlando Pace, coach Tony Dungy and senior selection Dick Stanfel.

DeBartolo was a finalist for the fourth time. The Cardinal Mooney High School graduate owned the 49ers from 1977-2000. His teams won five Super Bowls from 1982-1995.
