Homer Simpson

We don’t think this is a stretch at all. Any follower of the Simpsons knows that the family patriarch is a big fan of sports. However, Homer has been quite the athletic participant himself. Consider the following sports related performances: Competing (albeit briefly) with Venus Williams as his partner in a mixed doubles tennis tournament. Was the Head Coach for Bart’s Peewee Football team. He boxed Drederick Tatum in his first boxing match after the former champ served jail time. He represented the U.S.A. in mixed curling at the Winter Olympics. He bowled a perfect game. He pinch hit for…

Jimmy Dugan

“There’s no crying in Baseball!”   That line alone could vault Jimmy Dugan (Tom Hanks) into our Contributors section of the Hall. Decades later, it is still quoted on Baseball broadcasts and diamonds across the world.

Now you know what happens to villains like this right?

The Gopher

This has to be the only nomination we have that involves a puppet. There are a myriad of memorable scenes from Caddyshack, and amazingly some of them involved an unnamed gopher who caused issues foe Bushwood groundskeeper, Carl Spackler. At no point were viewers ever convinced that it was a real gopher, but never did it matter. Besides, would a flesh and bone gopher look as funny dancing to Kenny Loggins’ “I’m Alright”?   The Bullet Points: Movie(s) Appeared: Caddyshack (1980) Caddyshack II (1988) Actor: We presume a hand up a puppet’s ass. Role Portrayed: Troublemaker Why you should vote for…
