Help Get Gino Cappelletti Inducted to the Pro Foot...

Published February 3, 2007

Gino Cappelletti, former pro football player for the Boston Patriots of the American Football League, and the National Football League, has been overlooked as an inductee to the Professional Football Hall Of Fame in Canton, Ohio.

This, in itself, is a total travesty.

Gino Cappelletti, by virtue of his accomplishments as a player, deserves full, and complete, recognition as a hall of fame member.

Here are some of his accomplishments that are proof of his worthiness to the Hall.

Cappelletti led the American Football League in scoring five times and had two of the top five scoring seasons in pro football history – 155 points in 1964 and 147 points in 1961 (14-game seasons).

There is no doubt that Gino Cappelletti shoud have his place of honor in the Pro Football Hall Of Fame, and by affixing my signature to this petition, I do so declare it to be true.
