11, 695 Career Rushing Yards is an exceptional total and this will put Fred Taylor at number 15 All Time in that category. Sounds impressive right? It is, but does that make him a Hall of Famer? We may have the Fred McGriff of the NFL, where as Fred Taylor racked up solid stats, so did a pile of other Running Backs. Taylor did the bulk of pro career in Jacksonville, which is hardly the mecca for Professional Football. Only one time did Taylor make a Pro Bowl, which again speaks to the elite group of Running Backs who he played at the same time as. Fred Taylor will make our list when eligible...we just don't know where we will put him.

Have to admit; we forgot about Chipper Jones this year. He just belted his 450th Home Run, but it remains to be seen if he can get that magical 500 number. If he wraps up his career soon, did he do enough for Cooperstown?

Today we lost former Cy Young Award winner, Mike Flanagan who passed away at the age of 59. Flanagan won the American League Cy Young in 1979 and finished his career with 167 career wins. He may have never been a serious threat for the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, but he is a member of the Baltimore Orioles Hall of Fame. Flanagan was only 59 years old.

The Football Hall of Fame announced their two Senior Candidates today. Jack Butler and Dick Stanfel were selected, and one of them will enter Canton. Butler is on the outside of our top 100 and Stanfel is ranked at #54 and as much as we would like to congratulate both of them, we are feeling terrible for Jerry Kramer who was passed over again. Needless to say, we are not pleased with that.
