I'd say HOF. I had a student once who was a relief pitcher for the Florida Marlins when they won the World Series. He pitched a few innings in the playoffs, but not the series and still got a ring. Now, he's a Chiropractor and not much else. I think he'd would have much rather have had a HOF-worthy career. I'd say that's valid for most players in team sports. The HOF members are the immortals of the game....championship or not.
Do you think people will remember that Derrick Thomas never played in a Super Bowl, or that he's in the HOF?
