Committee Chairman

Committee Chairman

Kirk Buchner, "The Committee Chairman", is the owner and operator of the site.  Kirk can be contacted at [email protected] .
Today, Miami Heat Centre, Chris Bosh stated that he was “already a lock to make the Hall of Fame” and that he felt this way “four years ago”. Bosh was recently selected to his eight consecutive All Star team, although many of have stated that this year’s selection was a little suspect especially that many considered one of the biggest snubs (next to Stephen Curry of Golden State) was Brook Lopez of Brooklyn who thus far is having a better statistical season and having more impact on his team than Bosh has had with Miami.

Snub or non/snub aside, if Chris Bosh has a career ending injury tomorrow, is he a Hall of Famer?   Sure, he had the eight All Star appearances, but only once was he selected to an All NBA team which was a Second Team selection in 2007. Yes, Bosh was the best player for the Toronto Raptors, but they were never a very good team. With Miami, he won his first NBA championship, but did so as a third option. Basically, Chris Bosh will never lead a team to a championship as the top guy, and he may never do it as a number two. Is he a great player? Absolutely, but if the Hall of Fame is truly for the elite, he has a lot more to prove and frankly if his career ended tomorrow, he is probably a bubble candidate at best.

Now, we generally don’t have a problem with a player showing some swagger and believing in their ability, but Bosh claimed he felt this four years ago, in which had it been decided whether he would enter the Hall based on what he had done up until that point, the answer is a resounding no. As for now, we can be sure that Chris Bosh currently shares the floor with three men (LeBron James, Dwayne Wade and Ray Allen) who have unquestioned Springfield resumes. CB4 has a lot more work to do to enter that group.
As you already know, the 2013 Baseball Hall of Fame Ballot yielded no entries. The 2014 Ballot has three new power house selections in Greg Maddux, Tom Glavine and Frank Thomas, though none of them come with any controversy. One of those men, Frank Thomas, has gone on record that he believes he should be a first ballot selection next year.

The two time American League MVP stated that the three of them (meaning him, Glavine & Maddux) “have resumes that should be there on the first ballot”. Thomas finished his career with a career .301 Batting Average, 521 Home Runs and a career OPS that ranks him 14th All Time. We believe Thomas is correct and that, the three of them are likely first ballot entries to Cooperstown. Thomas however seemed to show no real sympathy for the PED group (Barry Bonds, Sammy Sosa, Rafael Palmeiro, Mark McGwire & Roger Clemens) who were not selected.

Thomas stated that “Those guys put up some real good numbers, but they are fake.” He added that he wouldn’t say that he felt “bad for them” as he “respected them on the field” but “they chose this” and made their own decisions off the field” and “have to live with it.”

This is not a new position for the “Big Hurt” as throughout his career he has been vocal against the use of Performance Enhancing Drugs going as far as testifying at a U.S. Congressional hearing in 2005.

We will be unveiling in the coming weeks our revised Notinhalloffame.com Baseball List that will have Frank Thomas, Greg Maddux and Tom Glavine on it. Look for it soon!

We were wondering when we were going to hear from Sammy Sosa. Today, on the website, Ustream.com, Sosa was asked if he felt that he and/or Mark McGwire should be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame he answer simply “I think so” and that “time will determine everything” and that he does not want to seek any controversy. We are not sure if he had an interpreter with him when he said it…..

Our retro joke aside, neither he nor McGwire were even close on this year’s HOF ballot. In fact, Big Mac’s vote support has hit an all-time low indicating to many that his HOF chances are remote at best. This was the first year in a long time where nobody was selected and the players associated with performance enhancing drugs received far less votes than their statistical achievements would have indicated they should. We are curious if we will hear more from Sammy, or perhaps Rafael Palmeiro who has remained relatively silent.

One thing we know for sure is that this is a story that is not going away!
