Visionary Thinking Hall of Fame - Adam Abramson

Some of you might remember this post, in which I named sports blog The Big Lead as a Visionary Thinking Hall of Fame candidate, based on their promotion of Film Actress and Socialite Kate Mara. As supplemental evidence, I wrote the following paragraph:

They've since followed with their Wild Wednesday love last week for Athlete Taryne Mowatt (right), a pitcher for Arizona softball. After a quick lead mention early, they followed with a full post three hours later. (Upon further research, it seems Newsday blogger Adam Abramson beat them to this by a few days, though Abramson's follow story appeared after TBL's first post. While Mowatt provides good supplementary evidence for TBL's VTHOF candidacy, she would have to become the next Jennie Finch to boost Abramson into the Hall, which doesn't seem so likely.--ed.)

Well, I was catching up on TBL posts Monday, and came across their Roundup, which included the following bullet:

We raved about her once, and now softball hottie Taryne Mowatt is up for a million ESPYs. She’s the new Jennie Finch. (Mac G’s World)

The emphasis is mine. But the point should be obvious. Due to TBL's statement - as blog of record - I have no option but to announce that Adam Abramson of Newsday's Campus Confidential becomes the sixth member of the Laminated List Fantasy Draft's Visionary Thinking Hall of Fame, joining Matt Ufford (Marisa Miller, also: Lifetime Achievement Award Winner), The Superficial (Alessandra Ambrosio), Barstool Sports (Allison Stokke), Intellectvist (Hayden Panettiere) and The Loveseat (Hilary Duff).

Welcome to the club, Adam.

The Big Lead remains eligible based on Kate.

UPDATE: From Adam, via e-mail - I gladly accept my place amongst the greats and thank you for such consideration and honor.

UPDATE No. 2: Adam officially accepts, over at Campus Confidential.
