Three Inductors set for the RRHOF

Not in Hall of Fame News
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame still has a lot of unanswered questions, but we are learning slowly about some of the inductors for the ceremony on April 7 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. Three presenters have been announced.
Neil Young will be inducting Pearl Jam, Jackson Browne will be inducting Joan Baez and Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson of Rush will be inducting Yes. It is notable that all of these inductors are Rock and Roll Hall of Famers themselves.
It is not known yet who will be inducting ELO, Nile Rodgers, Tupac Shakur and Journey.
We will keep our ears open for more Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ceremony news. You know there will be a lot more coming!

The Seattle Mariners to retire Edgar Martinez' Number
Jan 25, 2017
Published in
Not in Hall of Fame News
As you know, we are slowly (or dare we say methodically?) working on the Top 50 for every major sports team in the big four of North American sports. The plan after is to then look at how each team celebrates their former players/executives in terms of retired numbers/franchise halls of fame, etc. This makes it news to us that the Seattle Mariners will retire the #11 of Edgar Martinez.
This is no small honor, as the Mariners have been stingy with their retired numbers. To date, only the league mandate #42 of Jackie Robinson and that of recently elected Hall of Famer, Ken Griffey Jr.
While it remains to be seen whether or not Martinez will join Griffey Jr. in Cooperstown, his chances grew as he made it to 58.6% on the ballot, his highest ever, and by quite a substantial margin. For years, it appeared that the former Designated Hitter was not going to be selected, but the man who played his entire career in Seattle seems to have a real shot at the ultimate individual trophy in all of Baseball.
Martinez career numbers include 2,247 Hits, 309 Home Runs, two Batting Titles, a career Slash Line of .312/.418/.515 and a bWAR of 66.4. He went to seven All Star Games and won five Silver Slugger Awards.
The ceremony will take place on August 12.
We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like congratulate Edgar Martinez on earning this huge honor.

Let’s try something new here.
We’ll combine a few news items that we think our noteworthy in the “Hall of Fame” world.
Let’s start with the WWE.
In an interview with Sports Illustrated’s Extra Mustard, former ECW World Heavyweight Champion was asked if he ever saw himself in the WWE Hall of Fame in the future. He didn’t exactly imply he wanted in, nor did he have kind words to say about the institution itself:
“It’s such a fake Hall of Fame. I’d only do it because I need the money. I don’t know if I would mother--- everyone or if I would take it graciously, but I don’t consider it a real Hall of Fame. It’s not like the Baseball Hall of Fame or the Football Hall of Fame. They let anybody in it, anybody who could draw money. The real wrestling Hall of Fames are in Iowa and Amsterdam, New York. They look for donations because they’re so broke, but they have s--- from the 1800s.
Vince’s Hall of Fame only has s--- from Vince’s company. If you didn’t work for his company, you’re not in the Hall of Fame. That’s nothing to do with how good you are, it only matters who owned them.”
Notably, Sabu inducted his uncle, The Original Sheik into the WWE Hall of Fame, and he is ranked currently #79 on our Notinhalloffame.com WWE List.
In what is our constant news from the world of Curt Schilling, he told TMZ that he doesn’t care about the Baseball Hall of Fame anymore.
Whether or not he means that or not, the fact will remain that he will be intertwined with Cooperstown until he gets in. Ironically, he will be less associated with the Baseball Hall of Fame if he were to get in.
As we have stated many times before, we know this story isn’t going away soon
Going to the Pro Football Hall of Fame, former Head Coach, Lovie Smith has said that his former player, Devin Hester, who is expected to formally retire soon, goes down as one of the most prolific Returner in NFL history. He is a three time First Team All Pro Selection, is 8th all-time in Return Yards and 3rd all-time in Punt Return Yards. Hester was considered a game changer for years during his time as a Chicago Bear.
Should Hester retire, he will be eligible for the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2022.
As always, the world of Halls of Fames continue, and we will always be paying attention!

Tomlinson is a Hall of Fame lock

From the Desk of the Chairman
I’m calling it a lock.
This year LaDaininan Tomlinson will enter the Pro Football Hall of Fame and will do so on his first year of eligibility. It takes a special player to accomplish that feat, and the former running back meets that elite criteria:
