Congratulations to the Inductees!

Feel good for the silver fox, Buck Shaw, who should also be in the HOF ... really believed Christensen would make it this year. Powell and Washington should have their chance soon ...

Only 9 votes separating 8 of the inductees this year is pretty amazing. Just goes to show how many worthy candidates there are.

Love to see this many votes! If only we could get that many people nominating. Surprised Walker and Tasker didn't make it on their first try; Christensen is less surprising since he's been trying for some time. I think he has a problem of low name recognition.

Yes, there is definitely too big a backlog. When is the 25th anniversary class? Might want to do a super-ballot for that.

The voters spoke on tough division and position rivals, Perry and Childress and you have to wonder what their careers would have been like had they switched teams? Childress would have played longer away from the literal, House Of Pain, I believe.

I just went to our website to take a look at our entire list of HOVG inductees. The link to see the HOVG is alllllllll the waaaaaaaay down at the bottom. After months and months of updates. The Hall of Very Good, being one of the features of our organization, I think ought to be featured a little more prominently on our website. I wonder if whoever is in charge of our web design could bring that to the top, and/or better yet include it as a selection in the menu on the upper right. (The three white lines). Just a suggestion.

That's not true.

On the main page of the PFRA website, there is a picture of the PFRA logo and "HALL OF VERY GOOD" on the right side of the page. You don't even have to scroll down to it. Click on that link and it takes you to all the inductees.

Not going to happen. Sorry.

I also think the HOVG needs to be made sortable, the way the HOF is on PFR. By position, year inducted, etc.
