The problem with running a Hall of Fame-related website is that many of the big ones we cover all have announcements within months of each other.  The backbone of what we do is list-related, resulting in a long push to revise what we already have, specifically now with our Football and Basketball Lists.

At present, we have a minor update as we have completed the next twenty-five of the 2024 Football List, which you can comment on and vote on:

The new 251 to 275:

251. Larry Brooks
252. Jon Morris
253. Ed Danowski
254. Dennis Harrah
255. Jim David
256. Ken Gray

Thank you all for your patience. We will soon unveil more changes to the football and basketball lists.

In the last half of the 1930s, Bill Lee was on a very good Chicago Cubs starting rotation that would take the team to two National League Pennants, 1935 and 1938.  Lee was far from just a participant from 1935 to 1939, and he would have four 18 Win Seasons, including a 22 Win campaign in 1938, which was enough to lead the National League.  That year Lee would also lead the league in Earned Run Average, Shutouts, and ERA+ while also finishing second in MVP voting.  Overall, he would win 139 Games for the Cubs.

Bill Lee was a champion in college in 1934 at the University of Alabama, and five years later, he was a champion in the NFL in 1939 with the Green Bay Packers.  Lee was named to the Pro Bowl that year and the 1930’s All-Decade Team as a Tackle.  Prior to his stint with Green Bay, where he played for the Brooklyn Dodgers from 1935 to 1937, and he was a Packer from '37 to 1942 and then would serve his nation during WWII.  He came back to play in 1946 and overall, he played 82 Games in the NFL.
