Yes, we know that this is taking a while!

As many of you know, we at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the top 50 of each major North American sports team. That being said, we maintain and update our existing Top 50 lists annually.  We are pleased to present our pre-2026 revision of our top 50 Los Angeles Dodgers.

As for all of our top 50 players in baseball, we look at the following: 

1.  Duration and Impact.

2.  Traditional statistics and how they finished in the Major League Baseball.

3.  Advanced Statistics.

4.  Playoff performance.

5. Their respective legacy on the team.

6. How successful the team was when he was there.

7. Respecting the era in which they played.

Criteria 1-4 will make up the lion’s share of the algorithm.  Please note that we have implemented this for the first time.  This has changed the rankings all throughout the board.

Last year, the Dodgers did exactly what many predicted.  They won the 2025 World Series in a thrilling seven-game series against the Toronto Blue Jays.  Despite the Dodgers’ lengthy tenure, there were three new entrants and one significant rise.  There was actually a fourth new entrant, who rose due to the new algorithm.

As always, we present our top five, which saw no changes.

1. Robin Yount
2. Paul Molitor
3. Ryan Braun
4. Cecil Cooper
5. Christian Yelich

You can find the entire list here.

We erroniously forgot to include Pitcher Freddy Peralta.  He is inserted at #20.

Brice Turang debuts on the list at #50.

Ken Sanders and Darryl Hamilton fell off the Top 50.

We thank you for your continued support of our lists on Notinhalloffame.com.

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 will examine how each team honors its past players, coaches, and executives.  This will eventually extend to college sports.  As such, it is important to us that Utah State retire Bobby Wagner's number 9 this upcoming season.

The extraordinary Defensive Back was a three-time First Team WAC Selection, and carried the Aggies to their first bowl appearance in 23 years.  He had 445 Combined Tackles, 28.5 Tackles for Loss, 4.5 Sacks and 4 Interceptions over his college career.

Wagner is only the third former Aggie to earn this accolade, as he joins Merlin Olsen and Elmer Ward.

We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to congratulate Bobby Wagner for his impending honor.

RIP: Bobby Cox

Baseball lost a great one today.

Hall of Fame Manager Bobby Cox passed away today.  He was 84 years old.

A Third Baseman who made it to the Majors for two seasons with the New York Yankees (1968-69), Cox became a Manager in 1971 for New York’s Class A team in Ft Lauderdale.  He rose through the coaching ranks and rejoined the Yankees as a First Base Coach for the Bronx Bombers, winning a World Series ring in 1977, but his stay in the Big Apple came to an end when Atlanta Braves owner Ted Turner signed him to become their Manager in 1978. 

Cox was well respected, but the Braves did not have much talent, and Turner relieved him of his duties after four years, famously quipping that the “perfect successor would be someone like Cox”.  He did not have to wait long to find employment, as the Toronto Blue Jays signed him to be their Manager.

Cox was with Toronto for only four years, but he led them from the cellar to their first division title in 1985.  He was now a sought-after commodity, and he signed back with the Atlanta Braves, this time as their General Manager from 1986 to 1990, during which he stockpiled talent via the draft.  Cox assigned himself as the Manager in 1991, and John Schuerholz succeeded him as the Braves’ GM.

Cox ran the Braves dugout for the next 20 years, and it was in the Peach State where his work became legendary.  He took the Braves to five Pennants, with one World Series win in 1995.  Cox entered the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2014, was a four-time Manager of the Year, and boasted a career record of 2,504-2001.

We here at Notinhalloffame would like to extend our condolences to the fans, friends, and family of Bobby Cox.

Yes, we know that this is taking a while!

As many of you know, we at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the top 50 of each major North American sports team. That being said, we maintain and update our existing Top 50 lists annually.  We are pleased to present our pre-2026 revision of our top 50 Miami Marlins.

As for all of our top 50 players in baseball, we look at the following: 

1.  Duration and Impact.

2.  Traditional statistics and how they finished in the Major League Baseball.

3.  Advanced Statistics.

4.  Playoff performance.

5. Their respective legacy on the team.

6. How successful the team was when he was there.

7. Respecting the era in which they played.

Criteria 1-4 will make up the lion’s share of the algorithm.  Please note that we have implemented this for the first time.  This has changed the rankings all throughout the board.

Last year, the Marlins won 79 games and finished third in the National League East.  Despite the franchise’s relatively brief existence, there were no new Marlins, with the exception of two players returning under the new algorithm.

As always, we present our top five, which saw changes due to the new algorithm.

1. Giancarlo Stanton
2. Hanley Ramirez
3. Josh Johnson
4. Miguel Cabrera
5. Luis Castillo

You can find the entire list here.

Of note, Cabrera and Castillo flipped the #4 and #5 spots.

Active Pitcher, Sandy Alcantara, remains at #7.

Due to the changing algorithm, Antonio Alfonseca and Pat Rapp returned to the list at #48 and #49, respectively.

This took out Edgar Renteria and Jesus Luzardo from the list.
