I don’t know about you but there was something satisfying about this year’s Baseball Hall of Fame ceremony.Perhaps it is because the induction of Jeff Bagwell after seven years was finally was chosen, likely forced to wait for the Hall due to PED suspicion. Maybe it is more due to Ivan Rodriguez getting in on his first ballot. While I-Rod never tested positive for Performance Enhancing Drugs, Jose Canseco named him as someone who he injected personally. Regardless of whether that is true or not, Pudge is regarded by many as the greatest Catcher of all time by many pundits…

Normally we don’t really comment on Halls of Fame from club teams in France, but we are captivated by the fact that when Paris Saint Germain unveiled their Hall of Fame on their website today a very curious name was included…David Beckham.Even the most casual sports fan knows that name. Hell, most people know that name if they have never seen a soccer ball. Beckham is an international star that graced tabloids and advertisements for years, and yes he was one hell of a soccer player in his prime. There are a lot of Halls of Fame that Posh’s husband…

Committee Chairman
This one is a little anti-climactic.Former Quarterback, Kurt Warner has announced that his wife Brenda will be his inductor for this year’s Pro Football Hall of Fame ceremony. Brenda has famously (and at times infamously) been at his side long before he was famous, and they are still together today. Essentially, they have been inseparable.
