It’s quite a relief to finally have The Unforgettable Buzz published. Yet there is some other serious and unfinished Electric Football business that we want to address. And it’s going to take the efforts of everyone involved in Electric Football to make this happen.
Here’s a pretty cool list: Barbie, Etch-A-Sketch, Silly Putty, Hot Wheels, Big Wheel, GI Joe, Slinky Tonka Toys, LEGO, Lincoln Logs, Monopoly, Mr. Potato Head, Electric Football. All are classic and iconic childhood toys. It’s a point that no one would argue.
Another interesting point about the list is that all of those toy have been inducted into National Toy Hall of Fame…except one. Can you guess which one? It’s our own Electric Football.
But this year, Electric Football’s time has come. With the The Unforgettable Buzz documenting Electric Football’s position as one of the most beloved toys of all time, Electric Football may have its best chance ever to make it into the National Toy Hall of Fame. For too many years Electric Football has been the Rush of the toy world.
But we all have to do our part…and it’s really not all that hard.
Just click on the link below and fill out the form to nominate Electric Football for the Toy Hall of Fame. The nomination period closes on July 31. We can make 2013 one of the most memorable years in Electric Football history. All those NFL players at the top of this post are counting on us!!

I entered a nomination! Every one who loves the game should also. Next stop Wikipedia! It needs a drastic rewrite and is one of the first web stopsj for people searching “electric football”.
Thanks, Lynn!! We need to get the word out and get electric football “in.”
I submitted my vote and a story about the Pittsburgh League.
Great, Rob!! Please get the word out. We can make this happen.
