Regular visitors to our website know that we will be launching in 2016 our fourth section which will discuss and rank the North American franchises from the four major leagues (MLB, NHL, NBA & NFL) and how they honor their past players and contributors.
With that in mind, it was announced by the New England Patriots Hall of Fame that former player, Houston Antwine has been inducted into their Hall by the Senior Committee.
Antwine would join the Patriots in 1961 where the Defensive Lineman was an eight round pick out of Southern Illinois. Antwine would make the All Star team in 1963 and would be chosen as an All Star five more times and would play 142 games for the Patriots. He would be chosen for the All Time AFL Team.
Antwine passed away in 2011 and is the second man inducted by the New England Patriots Hall of Fame Senior Committee. He will be joined by another “regular” finalist, which will be announced on April 16.
The New England Patriots are easily one of the better organization in North American sports in regards to how they honor their past players.
We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to congratulate the family of Houston Antwine for receiving this accolade.
