The Hall of Fame will grow. Every season, every generation, there will be more names on that wall. More numbers retired. More people carried forward by the people who loved them.
But there’s only one No. I.
Terrel Peete is the first because he was the reason RMF exists. Not the idea of him — the actual person. The laugh. The jersey. The way he played the game. The absence that made the founder realize something needed to be built.
No. I doesn’t just mean first. It means foundational. It means the stone that everything else is built on. It means: without this name, none of this exists.
Long live No. I. Long live Terrel Peete.
