I'm glad a few got in, but I wouldn't have taken those players. Heffelfinger: I like to see a minimum of 4 seasons and if you add up all of Heff's games I don't think you get that. I know he was part of the CAA's big tour in '92 and obviously he was a ringer for the A's a few times in Pittsburgh an...

I think that it was Brian Michael that I spoke to a while back. That would be the photo book on the FYJ.

I know that there was a guy that was putting together a picture book, but it was going to be light on content. The Frankford Historical Society put together a scrapbook many years ago. Otherwise, I have not heard of any Yellowjackets books being published.

It's a shame that this information gets leaked.

I just saw the press release today and it said 2025, so I thought the committee had left him off, perhaps out of prep for him coaching ne...

Correct. There was some confusion about that, so the Hall made sure that the selectors knew that Belichick and Carroll had to wait until next year (voting for the Class of 2026). Thanks man! The confusion remains, because today's PFHOF press release says this: "The new bylaws also reduced the ...

Belichick and Carroll are not eligible, which is why they are not in the list. Both become eligible next year. Oh. So they coached in 2023, which counts as the class of 2024 in a sense. They are not coaching in 2024, which counts as the class of 2025. That's their one-year wait, and then they are e...

There are zero coaches in Canton whose resume is defined by what they d...
