In the original British (and superior) film, Fever Pitch, we are introduced to Paul Ashworth, a diehard Arsenal fan who is forced to modify his love of his beloved Premiership team with that of his new girlfriend. We are fans of the “Gunners” here, so we had to make sure this made the ballot. Seriously, anyone but Liverpool!
The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
Fever Pitch (1997)
Actor:
Colin Firth
Role Portrayed:
Arsenal superfan
Why You Should Vote For Him:
Only if you can identify with superfandom.
Why You Should Not Vote For Him:
Whether you saw this or not, does a fan really belong in the Hall?

Ah, the stalker. Not exactly the best “contributor” per say, but one that is a common in modern sports and will probably fuel future sports, we have the “obsessed fan”. At least here in the 2002 attempted horror film, “Swimfan”, we have a nominee that is borderline hot. Seriously, that is all we got!
The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
Swimfan (2002)
Actor:
Erika Christensen
Role Portrayed:
Obsessed Swim fan
Why You Should Vote For Her:
Not really sure. Well, she was cute.
Why You Should Not Vote For Her:
If Robert DeNiro is struggling to get inducted as an obsessed fan, should we really look at this one seriously?

As we have stated, we are not always the biggest fans of “girlfriends” in sports movies, but we will say that we did enjoy Rene Russo, as Lynn Wells, a past girlfriend of Jake Taylor (Tom Bereneger) who at least has to be wooed back. We will also say that this was Rene Russo at the apex of her hotness.
The Bullet Points:
Movies Appeared:
Major League (1989)
Major League 2 (1994)
Actor:
Rene Russo
Role Portrayed:
Former Girlfriend of Indians Catcher, Jake Taylor
Why You Should Vote For Her:
She was very hot in this role at this time.
Why You Should Not Vote For Her:
If she wasn’t in the film, how much difference would it have made?

Every boxing movie needs a trainer right? Following in the vein of Mickey Goldmill, Rocky…er…Razor Sharp’s trainer is a crusty old codger, though this one has a better sense of humor. What that means for this Hall isn’t a whole lot, as the film will likely struggle to get an inductee of any kind.
The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
Grudge Match (2013)
Actor:
Alan Arkin
Role Portrayed:
Boxing Trainer
Why You Should Vote For Him:
Arkin was likable, and knows how to nail the curmudgeon with the heart of gold as well as anyone.
Why You Should Not Vote For Him:
Arkin has playing this type of role for years.
