1956 SEMI-FINAL RESULTS: Thank you for all of you who have participated in the Pro Football Hall of Fame Revisited Project, and if you are unaware of what that is, simply, we acted as if the PFHOF had their first class in January of 1946? We have completed the years up to 1955. For “1956” a Preliminary Vote with over 130 players whose playing career ended by 1949. 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, with the top 25 vote getters named as 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. 31 Votes took place, with the top five advancing. This is for the “Modern Era” Bold indicates they advanced to the Finals: Player Year of Eligibility Vote Total Sid Luckman QB 1 31 Alex Wojciechowicz C-LB-E 1 26 George McAfee HB-DB 1 25 Kenny Washington 3 21 Al Nesser G-R-C 20 19 Riley Matheson G 3 19 Beattie Feathers HB-WB 11 18 Wayne Millner E-DE 6 18 Ward Cuff WB-QB-HB 4 18 Bill Osmanski FB 4 16 Marshall Goldberg T 3 16 Steve Owen T-G 18 15 Whizzer White TB-HB 10 15 Woody Strode E 2 10 Ken Kavanaugh E 1 10 Buckets Goldenberg G-BB 6 9 Glenn Presnell T-B 15 7 Spec Sanders TB 1 7 George Christensen G-T 13 6 George Wilson E 5 6 Charley Brock C-HB-FB 4 6 Ace Gutkowski FB-TB 12 5 Frank Cope T 4 5 Jug Earp C-T-G 19 3 Gaynell Tinsley E 11 2 This is for the “Senior Era” *Bold indicates they advanced to the Finals: Hunk Anderson 6 19 Swede Youngstrom 4 19 Tony Latone 1 19 Gus Sonnenberg 1 8 Cub Buck 6 7 Next Saturday, we will be posting the Class of the1956 Pro Football Hall of Fame Revisited Project.
