Phot-o' the Day: Class of 1987; Pro Football Hall of Fame; Canton, Ohio


Bring me the heads of the Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 1987.

Starting at the top, center, and moving clockwise: (1) Mean Joe Greene (DT, Pittsburgh Steelers), (2) Don Maynard (WR, primarily with the New York Jets), (3) Gene Upshaw (G, Oakland Raiders), (4) Jim Langer (C, primarily with the Miami Dolphins), (5) Len Dawson (QB, primarily with the Kansas City Chiefs), (6) Larry Csonka (FB, primarily with the Memphis Southmen of the WFL*), and, in the middle, (7) John Henry Johnson (FB, many teams, but more time with the Pittsburgh Steelers).

This is from inside the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio. This is far and away the most interesting sight to see in Canton, Ohio, that does not involve President William McKinley. It's an OK visit. Hall of Fames are more about who warrants be included within, rather than actually visiting to see who was admitted.

Visited May 2012.

Footnote [*]: Yes, I know Larry Csonka is primarily known for his years with the Miami Dolphins, especially the undefeated team of 1972-73. But for a brief moment, he and two of his Dolphin teammates almost made the WFL respectable.
