new moninees for
1 - Jacques Plante (NHL) - six nominees already for 1, so explanation/argument now required:
... Hockey HOF, multiple Cup champion, career stats among very best of all time (miles better than Sawchuk, e.g.), innovator at position
2 - Tim Horton (NHL) -- could also enter with 7 or 24, but too many nominees there, so 2, his late-career number
10 - Pele (soccer) -- explanation needed again -- seriously? No other nominations for greatest footballer of all time?
34 - Thurman Thomas (NFL)
39 - Dominik Hasek (NHL) -- what Orr was to defencemen and Gretzky was to forwards, Hasek was to goalies
-- by any stat, light years beyond any other goalie of past 60 years
67 - Kent Hull (NFL)
78 - Bruce Smith (NFL)
79 - Ron McDole (AFL/NFL) -- should be for 72, his best years, but no other nominees at 79, his late-career number
89 - Steve Tasker (NFL)
redundant votes for
3 - the Babe (MLB)
4 - Orr (NHL)
8 - Yogi (MLB)
24 - Mays (MLB)
45 - Gibson (MLB)
66 - Lemieux (NHL)
68 - Jagr (NHL)
77 - Esposito (NHL) -- should be for 7, but too many nominees there, so 77, his late-career number
83 - Andre Reed (NFL)
99 - Gretzky (NHL)
