An early ’70s football card of Broadway Joe Namath, whose “guarantee” of a victory in Super Bowl III over the Colts put the American Football League on the map. Namath’s performance in that game pretty much got him elected to the Hall of Fame, since his career statistics are not that impressive (he was plagued by knee injuries for most of the time he played). He actually did not quarterback his team to a win over any opponent with a winning record for the rest of his career after that Super Bowl win. Still, just for his sheer impact on the future of the sport he deserves his spot in the Hall.
