The Ford C. Frick Nominees are announced
Nov 07, 2016

Not in Hall of Fame News
It’s that time of the season where we can put some serious thought into the Baseball Hall of Fame.
The Ford C. Frick Award is resented annually to the announcer who exemplifies excellence in broadcasting. There are eight men who have been named Finalists for this prestigious honor, the recipient of which will be automatically entered into the Baseball Hall of Fame.
The Finalists are:
Gary Cohen, who joined the New York Mets broadcast team in 1989 and has been doing the broadcast ever since. He has also done work for ESPN Radio in the playoffs.
Jacques Doucet, who did the play-by-play in French for the Montreal Expos from 1972 until the team’s relocation (to Washington) in 2004. He has since taken over the French language broadcasts for the Toronto Blue Jays.
Ken “Hawk” Harrelson, a former one time All Star who has been the main television announcer for the Chicago White Sox since 1990. Harrelson began broadcasting in 1975 and had stints covering the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees before settling in Chicago.
Pat Hughes, who has been the radio play-by-play announcer for the Chicago Cubs since 1996, where he was famously paired with former Cubs great, Ron Santo for twelve years. Hughes did the radio broadcasts for the Milwaukee Brewers for twelve years prior to his Cubs gig.
Bill King, who for twenty five (1981 to 2005) years was the voice of Oakland Athletics. He would also call games for the Oakland Raiders and the Golden State Warriors.
Mike Krukow, who was a long time Starting Pitcher who was a one time All Star. Krukow has been broadcasting San Francisco Giants games since 1990.
Ned Martin, who broadcasted Boston Red Sox games on both radio and television from 1961 to 1992.
Dewayne Staats, who has been broadcasting the Tampa Bay Rays games since their inception in 1998.
We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to congratulate this group of Finalists and we eagerly await to see which one will be chosen for Cooperstown!

The Pro Football HOF snubs the Stabler family
Nov 05, 2016
Published in
Not in Hall of Fame News
Recently, Seattle Seahawks Defensive Back, Richard Sherman discussed how ratings were down in the National Football League because the league wasn’t fun. Perhaps the Pro Football Hall of Fame has taken their cue.
Traditionally when players are inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame they receive an official Hall of Fame jacket and ring. When asked over Twitter when the late Ken Stabler’s family would be receiving their jacket and ring, Kendra Stabler Moyes (Ken’s daughter) stated that they did not receive one, and will not be in the future.
To make matters worse, when she asked if it could be purchased, the family was told by the Hall of Fame President, David Baker, a firm “No” with the reason being that they did not want families selling the items or fighting over them.
Pretty stupid rationale, wouldn’t you say?
There is no support for this decision, especially from the team that Stabler starred for years, the Oakland Raiders themselves.
Current Head Coach, Jack Del Rio succinctly stated on Twitter for the Hall to “Do the right thing”. Current Raiders owner, Mark Davis pointed out that he has his fathers (Al Davis) ring and that the families of Stabler, Junior Seau and Dick Stanfel should also.
Davis, in a phone interview with ESPN, stated that he learned of this situation earlier as he was intending to honor Stabler’s family with a halftime ceremony presenting the ring and jacket.
With the backlash that the Pro Football HOF is receiving, will they do the right thing as Del Rio says?
Let’s hope!

Common discusses the RRHOF

Tupac Shakur has been nominated for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and has a good chance of getting inducted. If Common has his way, there will be a lot more to follow.
As part of an interview with Rolling Stone, the rapper/actor had this to say:
“Queen Latifah is one of the first people to come to mind, A Tribe Called Quest. De La Soul! De La Soul is so powerful. Nas and OutKast are some that come to mind, as well."
The precedent of rap finding a place in the Rock Hall has long been underway with Grandmaster Flash paving the way for other artists like Run DMC, Public Enemy and N.W.A. to follow.
Nas and OutKast are not yet eligible for the Rock Hall, but will be ranked high by us once eligible.
Now we sit and wait for Gene Simmons’ response.

Arnel Pineda snubbed? Not Really.

Is this really a controversy?
Those of you following the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this year know that for the first time, Journey was nominated for the Hall. Going against past tradition, the Cleveland bases institution has announced which members of nominated bands would receive induction. Current Journey singer, Arnel Pineda is not listed on the ballot, which has made keyboardist, Jonathan Cain a little upset.
“There is no Journey without Arnel right now. He certainly has earned his stripes. He's been with us longer than any lead singer has consecutively stayed in the band. He's given us 10 years straight, not running off or doing this, doing that, just being The Guy. So that's worth something,"
While Pineda has been with them a long time and unquestionably has a voice that can match original singer, Steve Perry, it was Perry who originally sang and recorded the hits…which is what they still play predominantly today.
At present, Journey is doing very well with the fan vote, often a precursor for future induction. Should that happen could we see a temporary reunion with Perry?
Could be!
