RFK's Halll Of Stars TO Be Removed

[SkinsRock]

I believe the Redskins Ring of Fame was moved to FedEx Field when it first opened (actually JKC Stadium at the time)....they were probably actually new signs (or whatever you would call them) made, but you get the picture. If that is the case, it would made sense that the old ones may still be at RFK, but it's not like it matters since the Redskins don't play there anymore.

As for baseball in DC, I'm thrilled about it! Living in between DC and Baltimore, I always rooted for the Orioles, but never really considered myself an O's fan. Then over the past couple years the obnoxious Raven fans have really turned me off to Baltimore in general, so I will be very happy to support the Nat's. Not to mention Angelos is an asshole...

Redskins P: It meant the new stadium area is a dump and crime is out the roof. Regardless of what TAFKAS (still weird calling him that) says I doubt it will be cleaned up that quickly.

If that is the case bring it over to FedEx

Actually DC would not allow this since they got left a the altar by the Squire. But at least he pinched the mayors ass before he left. The ring of fame at RFK is different then the ring of fame at FEDEX. Many great past washington names are missing. FEDEX only has football related ones. No basketball (Wesley Unsled, Abe Pollin) , baseball (Frank Howard, Ted Williams) boxing (Sugar Ray Lenorad) or hockey(Did we have any on the Ring of Fame?) Would love to purchase a sign or two if Mr. Cope from the NAtionals makes them available.

They probably had to remove the Hall of Stars because they were probably remodeling to add a Steroid Pharmacy..........

Baseball is a cure for insomnia........ Have any of you actually stayed awake for an ENTIRE baseball game.....too boring!

i think my grand dad actually stopped watching baseball in the 50s cause he thought it had gotten to slow then (apparently is used to be an extremely fast game before adjustments between EVERY single pitch...)

Oh Ok. I really didn't understand what you were saying. No doubt the area isn't the prettiest in the city, but you would have to think that there will be plenty of police and security around there.

Then again, its DC police and that's not saying much.

I understand that other sport figures would not be moved to FedEx, only Redskins ones......but how come "indoor" stars were on there? Don't they have something for them at the MCI Center? (moved from the Capital Centre of course)

Actually this is how we honored all of our stars in the area. How would and could we honor the great Sugar Ray? I believe there was even Elvin Hayes up.
