Ravens owner Art Modell waves to the crowd at M&T Bank Stadium before the team's AFC wild card game against the Tennessee Titans on Jan. 3, 2004. Modell, who moved the Cleveland Browns to Baltimore after the 1995 season, was inducted into the Ring of Honor before the playoff game. "It was a beautiful few moments that I will always remember," said Modell, who finished with a 346-304-8 record and 28 winning seasons. "I saw the players and the crowd standing up applauding me. How often do you get that? I was very, very overwhelmed and quite taken emotionally." Modell sold the team to Steve Bisciotti in 2004.
