Re: 2025 Hall of Very Good Finalists
Your HoVG Committee intends to write mini-biographies for each Finalist to be published in the July issue of the Coffin Corner.
I am hoping there will be plenty of conversation in the forum about this year's nominees; especially the "Super Seniors."
There are a lot of them on this ballot and, generally speaking, they're not as familiar to us as the players we grew up watching.

Re: 2025 Hall of Very Good Finalists
And a former finalist in Russ Washington continues to stall. Surprised Leslie O Neil didnt advance ...
You would think more than 23 people would nominate candidates, unless many endorse the same people, I hope.

That's a "Super Senior" explosion this year. Wow! It kind of feels like a win to see that list even if none of them get inJuggernautJ wrote: ↑Fri Apr 25, 2025 1:29 am ..."Super Seniors."
