We are slowly getting there!

Regular visitors to Notinhalloffame.com know that we are slowly (or glacier like) working on our top 50 players for each major North American Franchise.  After that is done, our intention is to look at how each one of those teams honor their past players and executives.  As such, it is news to us that the Kansas City Chiefs has inducted Carlos Carson as the 47th member of their franchise’s Hall of Fame.

Drafted in the 5th Round out of LSU in the 1980 NFL Draft, “Speedy” Carlos Carlson would blossom into a dependable offensive weapon for the Chiefs.  A Pro Bowler in both 1983 and 1987, Carlson would have three 1,000 Receiving Yard seasons in KC and would overall catch 352 passes for 6,360 Yards with 33 Touchdown Passes. 

Carlson suited up for 352 Games as a Chief.

We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to congratulate Carlos Carson for achieving this prestigious honor.
The WWE Hall of Fame has announced another member of their Hall of Fame, and as projected by many sources, it is former Diva’s Champion, Beth Phoenix.

After a run in the developmental territory, OVW, where she was their women’s champion, Phoenix would debut in the WWE in May of 2006 as an ally of Trish Stratus who was then feuding with Mickie James.  It would be a shirt run, as Phoenix suffered a mandible injury that kept her out of action for nearly a year.  She would return in July of 2009, though this time as a heel and adopting the “Glamazon” persona. 

Over the next five years, Phoenix would be regarded as one of the strongest and most athletically gifted women on the roster.  She would become a one time WWE Diva’s Champion and three time WWE Women’s Champion, though her most notable WWE memory for most was appearing in the 2010 Royal Rumble where she eliminated The Great Khali.

The induction of Beth Phoenix continues the tradition of the WWE Hall of Fame inducting one female per year.

We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to congratulate Beth Phoenix for earning this honor. 
Always onward and upward for us here at Notinhalloffame.com!

We are ready to unveil a new Top 50, and again it comes from the hardwood.  It is the Top 50 of the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Originally, the Seattle SuperSonics, the franchise would win the NBA Championship in 1979, the year after they went to their first NBA Finals.  The Sonics would again go to the Finals in 1996, though would lose to the juggernaut that was the Michael Jordan led Chicago Bulls.

As much as the Seattle fans supported their team, a new ownership group from Oklahoma City purchased the team and brought the franchise to the state of Oklahoma, the first major franchise to arrive there. 

Now known as the Oklahoma City Thunder, “OKC” would go to the Finals, though they would fall short against the Miami Heat.

As the city of Seattle owns the rights to the Sonics name, a new team in the Emerald City would revert the history of this team in Seattle away from the Thunder, however as it stands now, this list begins from 1967, when Seattle first gained a team.

The entire list can be found here but for those who want a sneak peak, the top five are:

1. Gary Payton
2. Kevin Durant
3. Russell Westbrook
4. Jack Sikma
5. Shawn Kemp

This list takes into account traditional statistics, advanced metrics and playoff performance.

It is up to the end of the 2015-16 Season.

Up next will be another NBA team, with the Atlanta Hawks.



We needed some time to let this one sink in.

Homer Simpson has twice been a Semi-Finalist for our Fictitious Athlete Hall of Fame.  By the way, you can vote for the Class of 2017 here!  As it turns out, Homer Simpson will be “inducted” into the Baseball Hall of Fame.

Now for all of the purists out there, don’t get too concerned.  This is not an actual induction, but more of a celebration of 25th Anniversary of one of the most famous episodes of The Simpsons; “Homer at the Bat”.  The event will take place on May 27, where in the morning a round table discussion featuring the program’s executive producers Al Jean and Mike Reiss, director Jim Reardon, executive story editor Jeff Martin and casting director Bonnie Pietila.  That round table is impressive enough, but two of Homer’s “teammates”, Wade Boggs and Ozzie Smith will also be present for the discussion. 

Following the discussion, Simpson will be mock inducted to the Baseball Hall of Fame and the Simpsons exhibit in Cooperstown will open.

To recap, the episode saw Springfield Power Plan owner, Montgomery Burns, stack his team with the best ringers for his company softball team.  In addition to Boggs and Smith, Burns procured the services of Steve Sax, Don Mattingly, Ken Griffey Jr., Jose Canseco, Roger Clemens, Mike Scioscia and Darryl Strawberry so that his team could defeat their rivals, the Shelbyville Nuclear Power Plant team.

“Home Run” Simpson was benched in favor of slugger, Darryl Strawberry, but pinch hit for Strawberry as Burns was “playing the percentages” as Simpson batted left.  Simpson drove in the winning run, albeit by being hit by a pitch with the bases loaded.

Admittedly, this is one of the favorite episodes amongst those of us at Notinhalloffame.com.

As always, the Hall of Fame news remains interesting.
