I am not just referring to his vast accomplishments on the gridiron; among which includes five NFL Championships, two Super Bowl Rings, being named to the NFL 50th Anniversary and 1960’s All Decade team and delivering the most famous block in history in the famed “Ice Bowl” against the Dallas Cowboys. It was not just a genuine legend of the game that I spoke too, and the man that we name as the most worthy player who is not yet in the Football Hall of Fame; as that only a snapshot of who Jetty Kramer is.
They had an outfield that the Canadian media dubbed the “Best Outfield in Baseball, consisting of 1987 MVP George Bell, Jesse Barfield and Lloyd Moseby. They had one of the top aces of the American League in Dave Stieb and a slick hitting Shortstop in Tony Fernandez. It was a collection of All Stars that gave a city a sporting pride that the national sport of hockey wasn’t able to provide. Despite this collection of talent, for many Jays fan it was a platooning Catcher who was their favorite.
Assumptions would be that Halls of Fame would naturally seek to strive in all of those categories, but alas this is not always the case, and certainly not the standard of all of the institutions we discuss on a regular basis. For example, the Hockey Hall of Fame, while striving to be as interactive with visitors as possible, struggles with the limitations of their physical Hall. The Baseball Hall of Fame, while considered to be the most respected Hall of all the sports, has an impressive view of its past, yet lacks focus on its future. The Football Hall of Fame has no interactive component and the WWE Hall of Fame does not even have a physical structure to call its own.
