Bill White began his career with the New York Giants in 1956m, but it was not until he made it to St. Louis in 1959 where his career began to take off.

George Mullin played the first eleven years and change of his career with the Detroit Tigers, and while he is not one of the most known hurlers in Major League history, he was a massive cog in the machine that was the Detroit Tigers in the late 1900s. 

Regular visitors of Notinhalloffame.com know that we are slowly working on the top 50 of every major team in the NHL, NBA, NFL and MLB.  Once that is done, we intend to look at how each team honor their past players, coaches and executives. Eventually, we are going to get to that of the Division I schools, and conferences.  As such, it is news the University Of Maine has announced seven new individuals and one team to their Hall of Fame, comprising the Class of 2021.

This brings the total to 213 members.  The ceremony will take place on September 17.
