One fan's push for Ottis Anderson.

This is a terrific article from a 64-year-old St. Louis Football Cardinals fan and his push for Ottis Anderson to make the Hall.

It explores why older fans are predominantly leading these campaigns, how voters feel about it, the specifics of the Anderson campaign and of course Anderson and his case itself.

Thanks Jack ... I support Anderson myself. Without the injuries in 85-86, he would have easily went in. Was the first to cross 10,000 yards rushing without getting elected. A good receiver as well. The Giants made him a better blocker

I like his case, but man there is a long queue of deserving seniors ahead of him (in recent years he has not made the 25+ semifinalist list) and electing just one a year, hard to see a path to election for Ottis

You may recall how fan/writer Tom Mackie pushed for Floyd Little's induction into the HOF and it worked. I can't locate the original story about it though and how his wife got him to meet his childhood hero Floyd Little.

Former Steelers also helped get Little elected. I didnt agree with it.
