The problem with running a Hall of Fame-related website is that many of the big ones we cover all have announcements within months of each other. The backbone of what we do is list-related, resulting in a long push to revise what we already have, specifically now with our Football and Basketball Lists.
At present, we have a minor update as we have completed the next twenty-five of the 2024 Football List, which you can comment on and vote on:
The new 251 to 275:
251. Larry Brooks
252. Jon Morris
253. Ed Danowski
254. Dennis Harrah
255. Jim David
256. Ken Gray
257. William “Pudge” Heffelfinger
258. Jeff Van Note
259. Troy Vincent
260. Frankie Albert
261. Charles Follis

Thank you all for your patience. We will soon unveil more changes to the football and basketball lists.
This is very tricky, or maybe it isn’t. It just depends on what type of football historian you are.
A three-time All-American at Yale (1889-91), William Heffelfinger’s college squad only ever lost two games. Heffelfinger was considered the star of that team, but in the 1890s, and for many decades after that, you went on with your life and stopped playing football. That was not the case for Heffelfinger.
