qwksilver Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 They have to stop adding 5 every year. That list should be 2 or 3 max (outside of the seniors). 3 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are just in, and they list all the teams you played on. But I get your point. Maybe Gilmore, lol? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 (edited) What kind of shocked me was that Darrell Revis has been retired for 5 years. Seems like he was just playing yesterday. When I saw Joe Klecko walk out, I thought wow he doesn't look like he's all there. Then I remembered what he looked like in his playing days and realized it he hasn't changed a bit. 9 people inducted! For a long time I've felt it's too easy to make the football HOF and too hard to make the baseball HOF.
