Special Teams receives very little love from the Football Hall of Fame.  The greatest Punter in NFL History, Ray Guy isn't in.  We don't expect another Place Kicker to get in the Hall either.  Steve Tasker has been a semi-finalist for the Hall, but we believe that this is as far as he will get.  This has led to a lot of sports columnists (including the NFL on FOX) to discuss a man who is not even 30 years old yet.  That man is Devin Hester.

Right now, Hester is a game changer.  Opposing teams kick away from him, and when they don't they are destroyed in their local publications for even considering to kick in his general direction.  Even with the altered rules this season which has resulted in far more touchbacks in the NFL, Hester continues to set the record books on fire.  Already a member of three Pro Bowls, Hester is already the All Time Leader in Punt Return Tocuhdowns and is rapidly climbing the All Time Punt Return Yards Standings.  The difference maker is also a fixture on Kickoff Returns and is a solid option among the Bears Wide Recieving corps.   Is it just us, or are we seeing a serious Special Teams superstar emerging as a Canton hopeful beofre our eyes?  If he keeps this pace up for the next three years, we would say yes.

At the age of 23, Los Angeles Dodgers ace, Clayton Kershaw won the National League Cy Young Award, and won the pitcher's version of the Triple Crown in the process.  Unlike Verlander, we are not set to annoint him on a Hall of Fame path just yet, but in this era where good starting pitchers seem so hard to find, we at notinhalloffame are hoping for a bright future for Mr. Kershaw.
We here at notinhalloffame would like to congratulate Detroit Tigers' pitcher, Justin Verlander for unanimously winning the American League Cy Young Award.  Cy Youngs are often a key point on resumes for Hall of Fame induction, especially if the candidate has a healthy career.  At the age of 28, Verlander has already been a four time All Star and has posted a 107-57 won loss record.  In this era of reduced innings, this is very much a Hall of Fame pace.
Today is a big day in our world as the Hockey Hall of Fame will be inducting Joe Niewendyk, Mark Howe, Ed Belfour and Doug Gilmour.  This of course reminds us about the work we must do to get out new Hockey List in order!
