I know each team has a “locker” but I don’t think each player in the HOF has one. Of course all HOFers have a bronze plaque in the “hall room”. I’ve heard theres so much memorabilia the storage rooms are packed. I’d love to go back and spend a week there. One day just wasn’t enough for me. And upstate NY is nice… much much nicer than NYC …IMO.So does every player in the HOF have one of these display cases. Or is this temporary for new inductees?
Technically isn't everything that isnt NYC considered "upstate NY"?I know each team has a “locker” but I don’t think each player in the HOF has one.

I honestly don’t know. I’ve spent time in Poughkeepsie and other areas around there. And been on up near Cooperstown. It was very rural and pleasant. You may have to answer that question about “upstate”. I know about all I really want to about New York .Technically isn't everything that isnt NYC considered "upstate NY"?
I've been to some real dumps around Buffalo.
It always depends on who you're talking to, because some North Country folks claim it's only them. But the general rule is that Upstate is anything outside of the Metro North range, which means past Poughkeepsie.Technically isn't everything that isnt NYC considered "upstate NY"?

With a career WAR of only 8, Bo would not have been a HOFer in baseball. Had he been uninjured and duplicated his best baseball season, his WAR would have been about 40. For comparison, Larry Walker, who played in the same time period, had a WAR of over 70 and Ken Griffey, Jr. had a WAR >8 in 3 different seasons! (Yes, I am a baseball "geek").If not for the Injury, Bo would be in the MLB & NFL HOF. He was that Talented.
Welp, in the 1989 All Star game, Bo certainly looked like the best player on the field. Oh wait; he was the MVP ! Then just two years later (age 28) he suffered the devastating injury playing football. So we really have no idea how his baseball career might have gone. 10 more years? 15? One thing we do know, he was electrifying in both sports. And we do know Bo was elected to the Royals Hall of Fame. So we can extrapolate. At least I can. I think your reference to the WAR is a stretch to disqualify Bo , as I doubt the electors factor that stat into their criteria . And since Jackson was really just coming into his own in Pro baseball, I think what we saw from him was a small sample of the kind of player he could have been. Most baseball historians agree with me. From "You don't know Bo, an espn documentary , the Writer Chuck Klosternan's Quote:With a career WAR of only 8, Bo would not have been a HOFer in baseball.
