One of the most widely-recognized Hall of Fame wrongs finally has been made right. Former Packers guard Jerry Kramer has earned enshrinement in the Hall of Fame, as a Seniors Committee candidate. It was his 11th time as a finalist for the honor. In 1997, Kramer became a Seniors Committee finalist, but he didn't get [more]

Kramer needed 80 percent of the vote from the 47 voters who were in attendance, which meant that no more than nine could vote against him. The Hall doesn’t reveal the vote totals, but Kramer hit the requisite 80 percent.

According to Hall protocol, after the vote was completed Saturday afternoon, David Baker, the president of the Hall of Fame, visited the hotel where the nominees were staying and notified each individually whether he was in.

“I said that (knock on the door) is it,” Kramer said. “And the most beautiful man I’ve ever seen (Baker), the big hunk down here at the end was standing there with the cameras and stuff behind him. I was over the top. It was something I was afraid to believe in, I was afraid to hope for. So I kept trying to keep those emotions out there somewhere. But hey, I’m here and I’m part of the group. Thank you very much.”

Who was it that had the signature "Why is Kramer in the HOF"? I guess he will have to change it if we ever go back to siggies.

It took the HOF 40 years to get it right...but I'm really glad he is finally in. Also glad he is still here to enjoy it. It would have been a real shame for him to not get in or to get in after he is gone. The "boys" from the great Lombardi teams are getting "up there".
Why is Jerry Kramer not in the Hall of Fame?

If a player doesn't get into Hall of Fame in the first handful of tries, how do they get in decades later? Did they get better? Did the myths and legends grow so much they couldn't be ignored?

Good another Packers player is in, I just don't really see how a player gets voted in decades later.

I agree with you. The "argument" is probably the Vet's Committee is not made up of the media who does the first round of voting. They might look at the candidate more objectively.

I can't say I totally agree but if someone has completely alienated the media, say by not giving them the little sound bites they crave, a Vet's Committee may not have the same as to grind.
