The very FIRST inductees should not be people known for their play.
But rather for their innovations, influence, and involvement of this great sport.

In no particular order:

Charles Nelson
Bob Gurnsey
Jerry Braun
Glenn Palmer
Bud Orr
Tom Kaye
Jeff Perimutter
Ray Gong
Jessica Sparks
Russell Maynard
Jim Lively
Sam Caldwell
Ross Alexander
Aaron Carter
Debra Dione Kirshe

All are worthy in their own right.
I want to be on the deciding committee....

This.

I'm all for Ron being going in, but not in the first class. Like others, I feel it should be the people that helped start the game/innovate it/bring it to a larger stage.

Absolutely, for sure.

If you can't name a team in the 80's other then the bushwackers then you really shouldn't have any say in the first class of the hall of fame. No offense.
