Before the year draws to a close, it’s time for me to reveal one of my deepest fantasies. I would like to gather up the Heisman Trophy, soccer’s Ballon d’Or, hockey’s Hart Memorial Trophy and every other annual “most-valuable-player” awards given out by prominent sports leagues, and feed them to a blast furnace. After disposing of that tradition, I would clean out every Hall of Fame devoted to a team sport and replace it with something of marginal use to society, like a DMV or a Crabtree & Evelyn.
