CC Sabathia's career is officially over

Committee Chairman
With the Yankees post-season now officially over, the career of CC Sabathia is now officially over. Arguably, it ended three days before in Game 4, when he had to leave the game when his knee buckled and his shoulder appeared to give out. He limped off the field and was replaced on the post-season roster. This was not the way that he wanted to go out, but that is often the case for the great ones. From Vallejo, California, Sabathia made his debut in 2001 with the Cleveland Indians and he would go 17 and 5 and finish behind Ichiro Suzuki for the…

Committee Chairman
We here at Notinhalloffame.com are always looking to add new sections to our website. Last month, we uploaded our top 100 active NFL players and how their Hall of Fame resumes stack up. We are doing the exact same thing with the NBA. As opposed to 100 like we did in Football, we are going with only 50 in Basketball. We liked the idea that we used in Football with a modern “Modern Positional Average”, so we are doing something similar here. With advanced analytics, we decided that we don’t have to isolate based on position so they are all on one…

Committee Chairman
The world of Rock and Roll suffered a huge loss today as the legendary drummer, Ginger Baker, passed away at the age of 80. He had been battling heart issues for years.

He would get his first taste of fame when he was a member of the Graham Bond Organisation, a British Jazz/R&B group. It was there where he would first collaborate with Jack Bruce, the bass player…
