Pro Football Hall of Fame Revisited Project: 1960 SEMI-FINAL VOTE

1960 SEMI-FINAL RESULTS:

Thank you for all of your participation in the Pro Football Hall of Fame Revisited Project. If you are unaware of what that is, we acted as if the PFHOF had its first class in January 1946.

We have completed the years up to 1959.

For “1960,” a Preliminary Vote with over 100 players whose playing career ended by 1954. We are also following the structure in that players have 20 years of eligibility, and if they do not make it into the Hall, they are relegated to the Senior Pool.

Each voter was asked to select 25 names from the preliminary list, and the top 25 vote-getters were named Semi-Finalists.

A week later, the voters were asked to pick 15 names from the 25 Semi-Finalists, and next week, they will pick five from the remaining 15. We will continue this process weekly until we catch up to the current year.

30 Votes took place, with the top five advancing.

This is for the “Modern Era”

We redid the vote where we asked to vote as to whether a candidate needs at least 50% or to keep at it with the top five.

After a tie in the first vote, we had a 16-14 win for the candidate needing at least 50% to enter the Hall.  This will be re-evaluated in “1963”.

We will post the Finalists of the Class of the 1960 Pro Football Hall of Fame Revisited Project next Saturday.

Thank you to all who contributed. If you want to be part of this project, please let us know!
