Mike Schopp and the Bulldog once again held an open forum for their 'Earth Sports Fortress of Pantheon' on Tuesday. The idea behind the creation was to gather the very best in sport for one Ultimate Hall of Fame. This way, Babe Ruth wouldn't be on the same level as Bruce Sutter. The ESF of P makes sure that Wayne Gretzky does not reside in the same building as Joe Mullen.
The doors were re-open to discuss whether the field should be expanded to 35 members. Roger Federer, the new Grand Slam Record holder in Tennis was not in at the start of the day. Joe Montana, Mickey Mantle, Michael Phelps and Steffi Graf are just some of the names on the outside looking in.
Please Check back often as we plan on constantly changing and updating these hallowed halls. When funding comes through, the plan is to erect an actual Earth Sports Fortress of Pantheon on the waterfront.
