Rows 2, 6 and 7 — The national halls, name by name over the fame band, as of November 2026: two honors, and the negatives printed where they hold

AS OF NOVEMBER 2026 · EVERY TIE AT ITS EXACT STRENGTH

The fame band is Notable People's eight names, verified against the restored fragment; each national hall was tested against the band from the hall's own roster or release, and the yield is exactly two honors — both at residency strength, neither earned on this ground:

College Football Hall of Fame (Atlanta; the National Football Foundation's hall). One name: Ara Parseghian, class of 1980 — the hall's own inductee roster (cfbhall.com) lists "Ara Parseghian, Class of 1980, Halfback," his playing honor from Miami of Ohio, his coaching fame Notre Dame's (95-17-4, national championships 1966 and 1973). His tie to this ground is resident, and only resident: he lived in Granger and died at his Granger home on August 2, 2017, per Notre Dame's own announcement. The hall he is in stood in South Bend from 1995 to 2012, during his Granger residency — a coincidence of geography the record supports and this article states no further than that.

Cooperstown — the National Baseball Hall of Fame. One honor, stated exactly: Ken Harrelson received the Ford C. Frick Award for 2020, the Hall's own release of December 11, 2019 naming him the award's recipient for excellence in baseball broadcasting. The Frick Award is presented at Cooperstown during Hall of Fame Weekend; it is a broadcasting honor, not player induction, and the distinction is printed because the row orders it: as a player, no member of the fame band — Harrelson included — is inducted at Cooperstown. The Cooperstown negative therefore holds at player strength and is printed. Harrelson's tie to this ground is resident, at seasonal strength: an in-season Granger resident across his decades in the Chicago broadcast booth (Notable People's own careful wording), born in Woodruff, South Carolina (September 4, 1941) and raised in Savannah, Georgia — born-here and raised-here claims for this ground would both be false, and neither is made.

Canton — the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The band tested one by one against the Hall's roster: Parseghian never coached professional football and is not on Canton's roster; Braxston Cave (Granger hometown on Notre Dame's own listing; Penn class of 2008; Notre Dame center) carries a single NFL roster line, not a Canton career; no other band name is a professional football figure. Negative: no Canton inductee has any tie to this ground in the record reached. Springfield — the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. No basketball player, coach or contributor in the band or in any record reached for this ground. Negative. Hockey Hall of Fame (Toronto) and the National Soccer Hall of Fame: no hockey or soccer figure in the band or the record. Negatives, both.

Beyond sport. The National Inventors Hall of Fame's roster was searched for the Miles Laboratories names: neither Dr. Franklin L. Miles nor Andrew Hubbell Beardsley (born on a farm near Granger in 1864; Miles Laboratories chairman 1925–36) appears among its inductees — the honor the record actually gives the Miles company is the state marker for Dr. Miles (IHB 20.2007.2), and Beardsley's documented public act in the corporate record is certifying the original Miles company's dissolution on February 19, 1912. No band name stands in the Rock & Roll or Country Music halls. In the one arena where a Granger resident is a repeated world final winner — Mike Ganus's pigeon racing (the South African Million Dollar final, January 2016; Victoria Falls, 2018; Pattaya, 2023) — the American Racing Pigeon Union's hall-of-fame honors are bird and loft awards, and no personal induction of Ganus was found in the pigeon press searched: printed at that strength, as a near-miss, not a snub and not an honor.
