Another Western Pennsylvania native who's gonna waltz into Canton on the 1st ballot. Crazy how that area has produced as many HoF'ers(across all sports, but mostly football) as it has.


It was a huge population center and predominantly blue collar. So what you have is a massive population of historically hard working, tough people. If you view it though that lens I guess it makes it less surprising that so many great FB players come from there.

It was 40 years ago. It's still blue collar and the people are hard working and tough minded, but that entire area has hemorraged population for my entire lifetime (43 in June). So you're not going to see the influx of players from that area in the future that we've had in the past
