Rings and Halls of Fame and Honor
August 31st, 2010 | Published in Halls of Fame, New in the Gallery
This week I enhanced the Vintage Football Card Gallery so that I can easily add searches for players who received various honors. Prior to the enhancement, you could search only for Hall of Fame members and Heisman Trophy winners. With the enhancement (and after I do some data entry), you can search for cards of College Hall of Famers, Most Valuable Players, members of each team’s hall of fame, and so on.
To test the enhancements, I added searches for CFL Hall of Famers, Broncos Ring of Famers, and members of the new Jets Ring of Honor. Over time, I will add the recipients of other awards, as well.
The change appears in two places. The first place is the Advanced Search page, which now has drop-down menus containing all of the various honors. You can pick up to three honors, and the search will find the players who received all of the honors you chose.
The second place the change appears is the search results page. That page now has a column that lists each player’s honors, regardless of the search you did.
Try it out! If you have any requests–or if you find a bug–let me know.
