Nov 08, 2025
Written by
Committee Chairman
1986 SEMI-FINAL RESULTS: Thank you for your participation in the Pro Football Hall of Fame Revisited Project. If you are unaware of what that is, we acted like the PFHOF had its first class in January 1946. We have completed the years up to 1985. For “1986,” a Preliminary Vote with nearly 100 players whose playing career ended by 1980. We also follow the structure in which players have 20 years of eligibility, and if they do not make it into the Hall, they are relegated to the Senior Pool. Each voter was asked to select 25 names from the…

The Pro Football Hall of Fame announced the nine former Coaches who have advanced as Semi-Finalists for the Class of 2026.

Committee Chairman
The Baseball Hall of Fame has announced the eight names who will be on the Contemporary Baseball Era ballot. This Era focuses on players whose primary contributions occurred after 1980. To gain induction, the candidate must receive 75% of the ballots cast among the 16-member committee. That committee has yet to be announced. The candidates are: Barry Bonds, PIT 1986-92 & SF 1993-2007, Outfield. Bonds is one of the greatest position players the game has ever seen. The all-time leader in Home Runs (762) also boasts the single-season mark with 73. The longtime Outfielder is also the all-time leader in…
The Complete Final Standings 1-20 of the 2025 Notinhalloffame MLB Cup
Nov 02, 2025
Written by
Committee Chairman
It is with great pleasure that we have brought back the Notinhalloffame MLB Regular Cup, and let us explain how this works: For every regular-season game, we anointed the top five players with the most points, in descending order: 5-4-3-2-1. We know the following: The top players for the MLB NIHOF Cup are not always the best in the league, as injuries keep players out of games, and a premium on staying healthy can help pile up points. It also does not hurt to be a top player on an average or mediocre team, as they can amass Cup points…
