Normally we don’t really comment on Halls of Fame from club teams in France, but we are captivated by the fact that when Paris Saint Germain unveiled their Hall of Fame on their website today a very curious name was included…David Beckham.

Even the most casual sports fan knows that name.  Hell, most people know that name if they have never seen a soccer ball.  Beckham is an international star that graced tabloids and advertisements for years, and yes he was one hell of a soccer player in his prime.  There are a lot of Halls of Fame that Posh’s husband should be in, but for a team he only played fourteen games with?

That’s right, 14 Games.  Zero Goals.  Hall of Famer.

On the PSG website they cited his Hall of Fame he qualifies due to being an “icon of fashion” and “ambassador of charm”.

…and zero Goals.

We have to wonder how the fans of Paris Saint Germain feel about this one.

This one is a little anti-climactic.

Former Quarterback, Kurt Warner has announced that his wife Brenda will be his inductor for this year’s Pro Football Hall of Fame ceremony.  Brenda has famously (and at times infamously) been at his side long before he was famous, and they are still together today.  Essentially, they have been inseparable. 

The announcement was made on Warner’s Twitter page.

It is days like this that we look forward to here at Notinhalloffame.com!

Today, the Hockey Hall of Fame has announced their Class of 2017, which will consist of Teemu Selanne, Paul Kariya, Mark Recchi and Dave Andreychuk.  It will also include women’s star Danielle Goyette and builders Clarke Drake and Jeremy Jacobs.

Teemu Selanne is the headliner of this group.  The scoring machine from Finland enters on his first year of eligibility and he is a former Stanley Cup Champion with Anaheim.  Selanne would lead the NHL in Goals scored three times and is a former two time First Team All Star.  He was also an international star with Finland, representing them in five Olympic Games and two World Cups.  He enters on his first year of eligibility and was ranked #1 by us at Notinhalloffame.com.

His fellow Duck, Paul Kariya also was chosen.  Kariya has been eligble for the Hall since 2013 and is a former three time First Team All Star.  Kariya went to seven All Star Games and helped Canada win the 2002 Olympics.  Kariya’s averaged exactly one point per game over his career and was ranked #3 on our Notinhalloffame.com list.

Mark Recchi was ranked #4 on our list and has been eligible for the Hall since 2014.  He is a three time Stanley Cup Champion (Pittsburgh 1991, Carolina 2006 and Boston 2011) and was a seven time All Star.

After a nine year wait, Dave Andreychuk finally got the call from Toronto.  The all-time leader in Power Play Goals was a two time All Star and won the Stanley Cup in his last season in the NHL with Tampa Bay.

Danielle Goyette is this year’s female entry.  She helped Canada win two Gold Medals and eight IIHF World Women’s Championships.  She is currently Canada’s IIHF leading scorer.

Clark Drake coached the University of Alberta men’s team for twenty-eight years and took the Golden Bears to six University Cups.

Jeremy Jacobs has been the owner of the Boston Bruins since 1975 and has been a very influential owner and has served as the Chairman for the Board of Governors since 2007.

We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to congratulate this year’s Hall of Fame inductees.

With the 2017 Class selected, it won’t take us long for us to work on the 2018 List. 

Look for that soon!

In a ceremony prior to their home field loss against the Oakland A’s, the Chicago White Sox retired the number 56 of Mark Buehrle.

The lefthander made his debut in 2000 for Chicago where he would send the next twelve seasons of his career.  With the Chi-Sox, Buehrle would go to four All Star Games and would win 161 Games and fan 1,396 batters.  He would help Chicago win the 2005 World Series. 

Buehrle becomes the 11th White Sox player in team history to have his number retired joining Nellie Fox (#2), Harold Baines (#3), Luke Appling (#4), Minnie Minoso (#9), Luis Aparicio (#11), Paul Konerko (#14), Ted Lyons (#16), Billy Pierce (#19), Thomas (#35) and Carlton Fisk (#72).

We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to congratulate Mark Buehrle for achieving this honor.
