Hockey Hall of Fame has the same type of category, for "Contributions to the Sport". I would guess football and baseball HOFs as well.

I didn't know that. I guess if it's pretty common across all the sports then good for Sly.

Baseball certainly does, esp. those in the early days that never even played a game, but made up the rules and such. Stallone certainly did a lot for boxing, which now is a mere shadow of its former self and will likely never regain that stature again.
