The way the RoF functions was changed a few years back, and CJ effectively had to sit out a year before he could be included. One of the new stipulations is that a person cannot be inducted until at least 1 year after they have left the organisation. It also is no longer the previous members of the RoF who decide whom is included and whom is not--which, IMHO, is flawed.
All that being said, I have a friend who will be playing the national anthem on his trumpet before the game that day, and he is a section regular as well as a good guy. So if you're going to that game, please get in early!
