RIP: Chuck Berry
Mar 19, 2017
Published in
Not in Hall of Fame News
It is a very sad day in the world of Rock and Roll.
The legendary Chuck Berry, considered by many to be one of the pioneers of Rock and Roll music, if not the father of the genre, passed away at the age of 90 today.
Berry was at the forefront of accelerating R&B to what would become contemporary Rock and Roll music. Berry would also incorporate the fast pace of rockabilly to his sound and as such, helped to create a sonic blueprint that appealed to both Black and White America and if there were a Mount Rushmore of Rock and Roll, Chuck Berry would be on it.
Berry did not have a number one hit in the 1950’s, but the hits he had of “Maybelline”, “Johnny B. Goode” and “Roll Over Beethoven” are staples of the genre. Berry wasn’t a political singer, nor did he ever try to be. This was a man who looked to perfect the rock party sound and as such has been cited as a major influence to many rock stars who followed.
Fittingly, Chuck Berry was a member of the inaugural class of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1986.
We don’t know about the rest of you but tonight we are going to rock ourselves to sleep to the music of Chuck Berry.
You will be missed!

Dwight Howard says he is a Hall of Famer
Mar 18, 2017

Not in Hall of Fame News
Dwight Howard, the Atlanta Hawks’ Center was asked recently by ESPN as to whether he is a Basketball Hall of Famer. He was pretty confident in his answer:
“No doubt. It’s kind of got swept under the rug because the perception of all the things that happened in Orlando. All of the media stuff. If you look at basketball itself, and I don’t ever talk about myself, but winning three Defensive Player of the Year trophies has never been done. Leading the league in rebounding six straight years. All that kind of stuff, I think that deserves it.”
Howard isn’t wrong. Based on who is already in the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame, the big man should be able to get in. This isn’t a knock against Howard, but the bar is a little lower for Springfield than it is for Cooperstown.
Howard’s star has certainly fallen since the wishy-washy way he left Orlando and his ineffective runs in both Los Angeles and Houston. He is certainly not the player he once was, but at one point Howard was without question the dominant Center in the NBA and was named to First Team All-NBA Selection five times. That alone makes him a Hall of Famer whether he wins a ring or not…which he still has time to do!

John Cena to induct Kurt Angle to the WWE HOF
Mar 17, 2017
Published in
Not in Hall of Fame News
With Wrestlemania only a few weeks away, the WWE Hall of Fame is naturally closing in. As such, some of the inductors have been announced for this year’s inductees.
Ricky “The Dragon” Steamboat had already been named the inductor for the late “Ravishing” Rick Rude, and today it has made known John Cena will be indicting Kurt Angle and Ron Simmons and John Bradshaw Layfield will be inducting Teddy Long.
Cena is an excellent choice. His first televised match was against Angle, and in later feuds with the former Olympic Gold Medalist, Cena would become legitimized in the eyes of many WWE fans.
Teddy Long once managed Ron Simmons when he was one half of Doom with Butch Reed in WCW. Simmons and Layfield teamed together as the A.P.A. in the WWE and though they had no on screen relationship with Long on WWE television, they are all backstage friends.
We here at Notinhalloffame.com are looking forward to what we think should be entertaining speeches from this group of presenters.

We are announcing Baseball revisions for the 2018 Vote!
Mar 16, 2017
Published in
Not in Hall of Fame News
When one Hall of Fame class is chosen it means it is time for us to start revising. Now that the Baseball Hall of Fame has selected Tim Raines, Jeff Bagwell and Ivan Rodriguez to Cooperstown, we are now ready to put out our new Notinhalloffame.com Baseball List
As such, we took into account the following when looking at our Baseball Revisions:
Ranking the now eligible former players. We already have them on our futures sections and your votes and comments have been taken into account.
The votes and opinions that all of you have given based on those who are already on the list.
Remember, we encourage you to keep giving us your opinions and comments as this does alter our rankings as we continue. Also, it is worth noting that we have expanded our 100 to 105.
So, let’s get right to the Top 10!
If you are a regular visitor here, you know that we have a 1A, 1B and 1C on our to accommodate:
1A. Pete Rose: The Hit King remains ineligible for the Hall of Fame due to gambling.
1B. “Shoeless” Joe Jackson: Jackson remains ineligible after nearly a century has passed following the Black Sox Scandal of 1919.
1C. Roger Clemens: It is either Clemens or Bonds in this spot. Rocket gets the duke only because he has a slightly higher vote tally from all of you who voted. Seriously though, can we get off the PED era already?
2. Barry Bonds: The All-Time leader in MLB Home Runs remains #2. While he does not have the vote total that others have who are ranked lower, like Clemens, this is as far as his (and Clemens) basement goes as far as Notinhalloffame.com is concerned, and yes, we know we said that we too take your votes into account! With these two, we re going to hold firm right now.
3. Chipper Jones: The career Atlanta Brave is considered by many to be a first ballot Hall of Fame inductee. Jones has the stats, both traditional and advanced, a World Series Ring and is very well liked. He is the highest rated new entry.
4. Mike Mussina: Mussina may have dropped one spot, but he is still a major snub in our eyes. The former Yankee and Oriole may have played in high profile markets but his profile is relatively low amongst those who think about Cooperstown. Apparently it is low with the Baseball Hall of Fame voters too.
5. Bill Dahlen: “Bad” Bill Dahlen also drops one spot. Dahlen is one of the few legitimate omissions from the game’s early days and was surly as he was good…and he was very good!
6. Jim Thome: Thome statistically should be a first ballot Hall of Famer, and probably will be, but for someone who smacked over 600 Home Runs with an OPS of .956, he is a player that could easily fall below the radars of voters on the first go around. He is the second highest ranked of the new entries.
7. Manny Ramirez. Manny is being Manny in Japan now, but he got a far higher vote in his first year of eligibility than many people thought he would.
8. Curt Schilling. Schilling took a tumble with the voters this year, the biggest drop of anyone who was on the ballot. It might be worth watching to see if he falls again.
9. Vladimir Guerrero. “Vlad, The Impaler” had the biggest jump in our Top 20, moving up from 14 to 9. Guerrero was very close to entering Cooperstown on his first try, and probably should get in on his second try.
10. Lou Whitaker. The sabremetric darling of the Detroit Tigers infield remains in the #10 spot.
Chipper Jones and Jim Thome are not the only new entries on this list.
Scott Rolen debuts at #18. The former infielder and seven time All Star brings a very interesting case to the Baseball Hall of Fame and we are very curious to see how his first vote goes.
Chipper Jones is not the only high profile former Atlanta Brave to make the top 50 as Andruw Jones debuts at #49.
Johan Santana debuts at #67 though we wonder how much higher he would be if he lasted just two more seasons.
Omar Vizquel is another new entry. The defensive star makes his first appearance at #76.
Johnny Damon and Jamie Moyer appear at #99 and #105 respectively.
You know what we want you to do!
If you haven’t cast your vote for these former baseball players on our list, please do so and offer your opinion!
As always, we here at Notinhalloffame.com thank you all for your support!
