Hall of Fame Points

[joe the commissioner]

I haven't posted this in a couple seasons but don't fret, I have still been tracking Hall of Fame points since I first started in 2043. With the announcement of this year's class, I'm now able to narrow down the minimum threshold for WRs to be between 3178 and 3184 points. Poor Terry Swift juuuuust missed.

Here's a list of the top 15 WRs since I began tracking this. "Team" is the last team he played for unless he was inducted in which case it's the team he went into the Hall under. (This is blank if he retired as a FA). "Year" is the last year in which he played.

Great work as always Joe, thanks for these

[Hooper]

Interesting stuff. The cut-off is cool, but seeing how far ahead of the others those top guys are is crazy.

[Sabean]

Thanks, a fun addition to the league and appreciate the work. It's crazy how skewed the HOF requirements are at certain spots. Defensive players really have a high climb, and apparently DTs are damn near impossible lol.
