Not in Hall of Fame If it's not in the Hall of Fame, it's at Not in Hall of Fame

2023 Fictitious Athlete Hall of Fame - Round 1

Jimmy Dolan

TV Show/Movie Appeared: The Air up There (1994)
Actor/Actress: Kevin Bacon
Position Portrayed: Point Guard/Coach
Played For:: An African Village
Why you should vote:: Cause you gotta cut loose. Footloose!
Why you should not vote:: Out of all of Bacon’s roles, this might be the 38th most memorable….and that might be generous.
Squeaking out of the Contributors category because he played the Point for the African tribe in the movie’s third act, we now have the opportunity to play “Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon” in the Fictitious Athlete Hall of Fame. As Jimmy Dolan, Bacon travelled to Africa to recruit what he thought would be a star player for his university where he was a coach. As always, Bacon did a fine job, but it was not a movie that had much of audience. We suspect that the only way Kevin Bacon makes our Hall is by actually playing the Six Degrees game.
