Last month, they announced their Finalists and on November 6, the induction will take place for those selected will take place at Binion’s Gambling Hall. As you may have guessed, that selection took place today. Jennifer Harman and John Juanda will become the 49th and 50th members of the Poker Hall of Fame.

We here at Notinhalloffame.com admit that we are a North American based website and are not always aware of the Halls of Fame that go on in Great Britain or in the sport of soccer, or Football as it is called everywhere else. Saying that, the addition of Sun Juhai into the English Football Hall of Fame has gotten our attention. Jihai is 38 year old defender who currently plays in the Chinese league but he played in the past for Crystal Palace and more notably Manchester City in the Premier League. He was the first Chinese player to score…

This week, Pitcher, Barry Zito announced his retirement through a statement in the Baseball Tribune. Below is a quote from his retirement speech that sums up his career perfectly: "My baseball career has been a mirror to my life off the field, full of euphoric highs and devastating lows. I've been at the top of a rotation and the 25th man on a roster. I've started Game 1 of a World Series in one year, and I've been left off of a postseason roster in another. I've been labeled as both drastically underpaid and severely overpaid. I've been praised as…
