Back in the Game was not a very good television show, nor was it even a very good Bad News Bears rip off. There was a band of misfit kids who played Baseball, but unlike the Bears, the Angles (yes, not Angels) we barely saw them play. The only highlight for us was James Caan as a drunken former Baseball player named Terry “The Cannon” Gannon, who is one old man we don’t want to mess with. We love Caan, and find that he usually steals the show, but it wasn’t that hard for him to accomplish that feat here.
The Bullet Points:
TV Show Appeared:
Back in the Game (2013)
Actor:
James Caan
Role Portrayed:
Former Baseball Player/Assistant Little League Coach
Why You Should Vote For Him:
Caan is an icon. That’s all we got.
Why You Should Not Vote For Him:
This show lasted only 10 episodes.

First off let’s all agree that the transition from athlete to administrator in the Kevin Costner fictitious sports world was one that seems natural, and we all buy. Do you believe Costner as Sonny Weaver Jr., the GM of the Cleveland Browns? Of course you do! It is Costner!
Here is the problem. The draft day trades make absolutely no sense, and there is literally no way that these moves would occur. Two points on the above: Yes that is the correct use of the word literally and we do remember the New Orleans Saints trading their entire draft class to move up one spot to get Ricky Williams. That would never happen again!
On the other hand, is the genius of Costner just that strong that maybe he could have pulled that off?
The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
Draft Day (2013)
Actor:
Kevin Costner
Role Portrayed:
General Manager of the Cleveland Browns
Why You Should Vote For Him:
Costner is a legend on this website.
Why You Should Not Vote For Him:
There is absolutely no logic to the moves in this film.

In the original British (and superior) film, Fever Pitch, we are introduced to Paul Ashworth, a diehard Arsenal fan who is forced to modify his love of his beloved Premiership team with that of his new girlfriend. We are fans of the “Gunners” here, so we had to make sure this made the ballot. Seriously, anyone but Liverpool!
The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
Fever Pitch (1997)
Actor:
Colin Firth
Role Portrayed:
Arsenal superfan
Why You Should Vote For Him:
Only if you can identify with superfandom.
Why You Should Not Vote For Him:
Whether you saw this or not, does a fan really belong in the Hall?

Ah, the stalker. Not exactly the best “contributor” per say, but one that is a common in modern sports and will probably fuel future sports, we have the “obsessed fan”. At least here in the 2002 attempted horror film, “Swimfan”, we have a nominee that is borderline hot. Seriously, that is all we got!
The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
Swimfan (2002)
Actor:
Erika Christensen
Role Portrayed:
Obsessed Swim fan
Why You Should Vote For Her:
Not really sure. Well, she was cute.
Why You Should Not Vote For Her:
If Robert DeNiro is struggling to get inducted as an obsessed fan, should we really look at this one seriously?
