Describing Inductees

Unlike most other similar Halls of Fame, these amount to lifetime achievement awards. The museum gives out rambling biographies which usually list multiple sports played for multiple venues without hinting what put the applicant over the top. I did put “coaching” as a sport because it seems like long-time high school coaches get inducted as a retirement present. Suggestions for making it simpler for me to add the inductees from other years are welcome. RevelationDirect (talk) 01:15, 13 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hall of Fame Members Without Fame

Apparently "fame" ain't what it used to be. "Marion MacLure is listed on the museum web site as being inducted in 1976. No additional info is there and I get nadda with a Google search. Maybe the name is mispelled. Anyone have any info? RevelationDirect (talk) 03:42, 13 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

OK, this was a tennis player in the '20s who competed as "Mrs. Marion Zinderstein Jessup (Zinderstein) being the maiden name. McClure or MacLure must be a later name. I'm putting her under "J" since that's whate she competed as.RevelationDirect (talk) 04:06, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Vinnie Scott (2007 inductee): He definitely was in the NFL in 1961 and only 1961 but there is conflicting sources about whether he was in the Baltimore Colts, Washington Redskins, or Buffalo Bills. That's a lot of teams for half a season!RevelationDirect (talk) 01:26, 8 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
