The 6 of Clubs coordinate

John Randle's birthday maps to the 6 of Clubs (The Nurturing Creator). Card Blueprints treats that as a 365-day coordinate: solar value = 55 − (2 × month + day), and the year is unused. It is not a prediction about induction and not a verdict on John Randle. The card's own language, quoted as system copy rather than biography: You pass on what you know without disappearing behind the lesson. Life-direction language from the harvested meaning, not a biography: Your curriculum is learning that wisdom includes not knowing. You're learning to be a student again, to grow alongside the people you teach. Under-expressed language from the same harvest: You give the knowledge away and keep your own authority quiet. Teaching becomes self-erasure.

The public formula uses only month and day. Solar value equals fifty-five minus twice the month minus the day. Values one through fifty-two map onto the deck from the Ace of Hearts through the King of Spades. Solar value zero is December 31, published here as the Joker. Card Blueprints does not remap that boundary to the King of Spades on these pages. Leap-day February 29 is computed directly and is not folded onto February 28. The year of birth is unused. No reading is generated and nothing here forecasts a roster, a vote, a championship, or a career. Evidence sentences are copied from the Wikipedia extract without paraphrase. If a Hall of Fame biography or an infobox day disagrees with Wikidata, the person is omitted instead of reconciled by guesswork. Attribution stays on Wikidata, Wikipedia, and the Hall of Fame record. Gregorian day precision is required; Wikidata claims are CC0. Sitelinks and wbgetentities are the identity crosswalk. Conflicts stay uninvented. Remainder dates are not disambiguated by hand.

Where the record meets the cards

No sentence in the sourced record shows a clear echo of the published language for 6♣, 2♦, 8♠, 8♦, 7♣, Q♠, 6♠, Q♥, 10♣, K♠, 3♥, A♣, Q♣, 10♠, 5♣, 3♦, A♠, 7♥. None is claimed here. The coordinate rests on the calendar date alone, and this page does not forecast induction.

Also on the record

1. He started his college playing career at Trinity Valley Community College, before transferring to Texas A&M University–Kingsville.
2. Randle went undrafted; he tried out for his brother's team, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but at 6'1" and 244 pounds was thought to be too small, and was not signed to a contract.
3. The Vikings picked up Randle after the draft on Head Scout Don Deisch's recommendation.
4. They told Randle he would be picked up only if he came back with his weight over 250, so when he was weighed in he hid a chain under his sweats.
