Todd Helton's gains in Baseball Hall of Fame voting continue to show any Coors Field stigma can be overcome by Colorado Rockies players.
Walker and Helton entering the Hall of Fame will have ripple effects for those who spent time with the Rockies for years to come, with Arenado’s path to the Hall of Fame become more likely every season. Walker was a great baseball player who spent 10 of his 17 seasons as a member of the Rockies. It was Walker’s 10th and final time to be able to earn votes from members of the BBWAA and, after years of being overlooked primarily because of his time playing at Coors Field, the 17-year MLB veteran was finally given his due. He earned votes on 29.2 percent of the ballots that season, up from 16.5 the year before. When Walker earned his place in the Hall of Fame in 2020, Helton was in his second year on the BBWAA ballot. Now it appears that his former teammate, Todd Helton, is nearing the necessary votes to join him among the game’s immortals in Cooperstown.

“The ball went in the hole today,” Homa said. “I think JT is my favorite person to watch play golf, which is probably true of a lot of fans of the game. “I was three under [for the round] and I figured okay, if you get to four under on 18, you’re okay.” Homa had just gap wedge in hand for the fateful shot and was trying to land it one pace onto the green; past the hole location things run away. But I didn’t realize just how strange the incident actually was until another volunteer explained with morbid delight that Homa’s ball had actually bounced off a sprinkler head and torpedoed backwards into the penalty area short of the green. The only possible conclusion was that Homa’s first ball had landed in the bushes and he was now playing a provisional approach.

Both Ashley and Trysta love the horses and take a great interest in what I do to make a living. I believe so will his success rate as a sire as he continues to get the best of the breed to his harem.” There isn’t a day that goes by when I am not appreciative of the many people, who have been instrumental in helping me get where I am today. Two that come to mind are Market Share with who I was fortunate enough to win the Hambletonian and Chapter Seven who I believe was the best trotting colt that year, but, unfortunately, he was not on Hambletonian day. He was a really great horse who was the best of his age group. There was a time that I would have thought it unlikely that I’d ever win even a thousand races. Another great trotter that I was privileged to drive at both 2 and 3 was Check Me Out.” The best older trotter that I had anything to do with was Buck I St Pat. From the fairs I went to the Chicago tracks where I was one of the youngest drivers racing. The number one lesson I think I learned from him is when I’m put down to drive more than one horse in a race to go with the one I think is the best. “If I were to compartmentalize what I learned from them I would say that Tony helped me in actually becoming a catch driver. I began driving at the Illinois fair tracks as soon as I was old enough to be allowed to compete there.

A Tampa Bay Buccaneers legend is once again a finalist for the Pro Football Hall of Fame. There is no reason this icon of the Buccaneers should be snubbed.
Ronde Barber should and will eventually get inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The list of finalists is strong, but in looking at it, it’s hard to believe that Barber would miss out over a lot of his contemporaries. That was the reddest of herrings in the worst way.

For his efforts, Freeney was named a consensus All-American and the BIG EAST co-Defensive Player of the Year. As a senior in 2001, Freeney turned in one of the finest campaigns by a defensive player in program history. He appeared in two more Super Bowls during his career, one with the Colts after the 2009 season, and another with the Falcons. He was named as 1-of-15 modern-era finalists for the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Wednesday, in his first year on the ballot. In 2004, he led the NFL with 16 sacks.

But don’t lose sight of the impact Ware had on the Broncos. I won’t stop watching the NFL. But I know I probably should.

It isn't often that we use the names Pro Football Hall of Fame and Eagles safety Marcus Epps in the same sentence, but this time we have a reason.
[Jalen Hurts is expected to start for a must-win in the regular-season finale](https://insidetheiggles.com/2023/01/07/jalen-hurts-eagles-week-18-giants-nfl/). Marcus Epps may not be on the radars of Pro Football Hall of Fame voters yet. and Quinn were reactivated to the 53-man roster. He hasn’t even been assured of a job with the Eagles past this season as the Birds have yet to offer him an extension, but you never know! Seeing one of our Birds earn some shine is just added motivation to give this one a mention. Just four seasons into what we hope will be a long NFL career, Marcus has worked his way to the top of Philly’s depth chart, but it was Kannell’s creativity that put Epps on a few radars for a different reason.

Nearly one-third of Hall of Fame position players had enjoyed the best seasons of their careers by their fourth full season. The average Hall of Fame position player surpassed 5.0 WAR in just his third full season. This is a very positive indicator for the Hall prospects of several of the game’s current stars. For his first ‘full-time’ seasons, then (1919-22), Ruth amassed 40.3 WAR, the largest total of any player elected to the Hall of Fame primarily as a position player. For the most part, though, the Hall of Fame is populated by guys who shot quickly to prominence. Since WAR is a cumulative stat, it’s important to clarify what we mean by a “full” season. There are 168 Hall members who earned their fame entirely or primarily as position players. He peaked at 11.2 in 1965, when he won his second MVP award. Of all Hall of Fame position players, here are the 10 best WAr totals through their first four full seasons: Their average cumulative WAR by the end of their fourth full season exceeded +18.0. The data is clear: future Hall of Fame position players announce their presence with authority. MLB Hall of Fame players show their talent early
