New York Sports has seen many of its athletes receive the honor of being inducted into their sports’ hall of fame, but there are always a few stragglers that don’t make it, and for no good reason, either.
Joe Klecko, DL, New York Jets
It is simply a travesty that Klecko is not in Canton. It’s more than an oversight, in my opinion. This man was a tremendous football player and well-respected by teammates, peers, the media and, especially, the fans. I realize any campaign is political in nature. There’s a lot of work to generate a buzz and a groundswell in order to launch it to the next level.
