CANTON, Ohio _ As any good Bengals pilgrim who crosses the threshold of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, we made the journey Wednesday to the locker that houses the mecca of the No. 78 belonging to Anthony Munoz.
But as pro football’s inexhaustible collector of customs tells you, Jon Kendle says there is plenty where that came from. Munoz’s jersey is one of about 650 artifacts the Hall displays at one time, but Kendle figures that is less than one percent of what is stored on the bottom two floors of the game’s most hallowed edifice.
“Typically, museums (display) about five percent,” Kendle says during a break from putting the footnotes in football.
