On Sunday, the doors will close on the College Football Hall of Fame in South Bend, Indiana. The institution is not shutting down; rather it is moving south to Atlanta where it will reopen in 2014. The National Football Foundation is making the move as the crowds (thus revenue) were nowhere what they hoped it would be when it moved it there from Ohio in 1995.
This leaves South Bend with a large downtown facility with no tenant. The College Football Hall has always (and always will be) in the shadow of the Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio. Although the College game has grown substantially in the recent years, it has not translated into the respective Hall of Fame. It remains to be seen whether the move to Georgia will increase attendance. We will soon find out!
Piles upon piles of articles have come out questioning the candidacy of PED users on this year’s Hall of Fame ballot. The word “integrity” is coming up constantly, in the form of writers, fans and other former players stating that players who took Performance Enhancing Drugs lacked integrity (which is supposed to be a criteria to get into the Hall) and should not be granted entry.
As it stands now, the players referred to as “cheaters”, Barry Bonds, Sammy Sosa and Roger Clemens who have that label are not likely to get in this year; the vote tallies for Mark McGwire and Rafael Palmeiro show us that!
However we ask this question when reading an article in the New York Times whereby the family of Dale Murphy is taking the other side of the argument. Dale’s son, Chad, makes a simple point; if a lack of integrity keeps some players out, should not a player with high morals have a better chance to get in?
Murphy is entering his 15th and final year on the ballot, but has yet to reach the 25 percent mark. It is unlikely that he will get in this year. The two time National League MVP was considered one of true “good guys” of the game. He was known for his charity work, and won the Roberto Clemente Award, Lou Gehrig Award and was the Sports Illustrated Sportsman of the Year. Those accolades are certainly indicative of the high character that Dale Murphy had.
Now, does that translate into a few extra Hall of Fame votes? We would love to hear what you think!
The main crux of this website has always been “Who is not in the Hall of Fame?” As such, we thought it was time to take a look at the existing Halls of Fame and look at their history and just who IS in the Hall of Fame.
We have started with the Hockey Hall of Fame (we thought the sport needed a bit of extra love these days) and we will look at it year by year. With each inductee, you can vote as to whether that player or builder should be in the Hall, or whether they should be kicked out.
We have started with the inaugural Hockey Hall of Fame Class in 1945.
This class consists of:
Charlie Gardiner
Eddie Gerard
Frank McGee
Georges Vezina
Harvey Pulford
Hobey Baker
Hod Stuart
Howie Morenz
Lord Stanley
Sir Montagu Allan
Tommy Phillips
You know the drill. Check it out, and cast your votes. Look for upcoming classes soon!
As you have noticed, we have added the 2014, 2015, 2016 & 2017 Basketball Futures. Well, onward and upward here at notinhalloffame.com and we have now uploaded the 2018 group. This is quite the impressive group and could see multiple entries.
They are:
Antoine Walker
Ben Wallace
Brad Miller
Mehmet Okur
As always, you know what to do! Check them out and cast your votes and give your opinions.
