![]() I am creating a new page for the HOF section of the site which will be called "First Downs". It will list innovations and inventions in the game and who created the first one. I am not an expert and the list below is to the best of my knowledge and I could easily be wrong. I am hoping that some of the long time guys on here will help fill in the info. In some cases, things may have been created at the same time in different areas of the country before we knew about each other. We will do our best to recognize all who contributed. Please add other categories that I have not included.
Again, this list is just based on my knowledge or what I remember seeing first. I know this may create some controversy, but please handle yourselves appropriately and if their is a dispute, give some supporting facts to your claim as "first". First: Hand made custom field: Jerry McGhee Internet publication: The Read (Red) Zone-Bill & Mark Klingbeil Published newsletter: James Jackson-newsletter name? Non Production Custom Figure: Chris Robinson The Box: Reginald Rutledge Multi Directional Dial: Mark and Bill Klingbeil Sticks: Anthony Burgess Current Sticks system: George Diamond ATTAC Passing system: Mike Pratt, others? Modern scale size spring operated QB: Geno Hendricks-TDQ Modern scale size spring operated kicker: Geno Hendricks-TDK Boiled bases: Vince Peatros Field Covers: Mark Kistner Decals: Mike Beal Facemasks: ? Chinstraps: ? Production three dimensional figures: Lee Payne-Tudor Floating Football: Anthony Burgess Other catagories???
