Halls of Fame were invented to honor our legends, while also driving tourists to places like Cooperstown, New York, and Canton, Ohio. In today’s quiz, let’s test how well you know who’s part of the inducted crowd.
We have twenty pairings from various Halls of Fame – Baseball, Rock and Roll, Basketball, Inventor, Radio, Mascot, Jewish Sports and so on. You choose the true Hall of Famer.
Take the quiz: The Hall of Fame Game
The idea for this quiz came from my friend Mario, a contributor to YesButNoButYes and all-around great guy. As a way to say thanks, here are a few links to great stuff he’s written:
• Where Are They Now? NFL Kickers
• Ten Wild Plays in NFL History
• Where Are They Now? Cast of The White Shadow
• 20 Questionable Career Moves in Entertainment History
And Mario also sells very cool toy-inspired creations at Jellio.com. You’ll have a chance to win one of his masterpieces in the near future. Stay tuned. But for now, go take the quiz already.
Way to use the ‘thumbwrestlers’!
