1987 PRELIMINARY RESULTS: Thank you to all who participated in the Pro Football Hall of Fame Revisited Project.

For “1987,” a Preliminary Vote with close to 100 players whose playing career ended by 1981. We also follow the structure in which players have 20 years of eligibility, and if they do not make it into the Hall, they are relegated to the Senior Pool.

The Complete Final Standings 1-40 of the 2025 Notinhalloffame MLB Cup
Nov 08, 2025
Written by
Committee Chairman
It is with great pleasure that we have brought back the Notinhalloffame MLB Regular Cup, and let us explain how this works: For every regular-season game, we anointed the top five players with the most points, in descending order: 5-4-3-2-1. We know the following: The top players for the MLB NIHOF Cup are not always the best in the league, as injuries keep players out of games, and a premium on staying healthy can help pile up points. It also does not hurt to be a top player on an average or mediocre team, as they can amass Cup points…
