The St. Louis Cardinals announce the 2017 Finalists for their HOF
Mar 06, 2017
Published in
Not in Hall of Fame News
Yes we know this is taking a long time!
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 St. Louis Cardinals have announced seven finalists for their franchise Hall of Fame Class of 2017.
To become eligible for the Cardinals HOF, a player must have at least played for the team for three seasons and have been retired for three years.
Here are this year’s nominees:
Steve Carlton, Pitcher.
Carlton is far better known for winning the Cy Young Award four times with the Philadelphia Phillies it was in St. Louis where “Lefty” first became a star. Carlton rose to prominence in 1967, joining a rotation that would take the Cards to back-to-back World Series appearances in ’67 and ’68. As a Cardinal, Carlton would post a 77 and 62 record with a 3.10 ERA and 951 Strikeouts. The Hall of Fame Pitcher would be traded from St. Louis following a salary dispute, which was a deal that did not exactly fall in the Cardinals favor.
Keith Hernandez, First Base.
Hernandez would with the National League co-MVP in 1979 in a season where he also won the NL Batting Title. Hernandez was thought of us as the best defensive First Baseman in his era and overall would have 1,217 Hits with a Slash Line of .299/.385/.448 over 1,165 games as a Cardinal. Hernandez would be traded to the New York Mets in 1983 after falling out of favor with St. Louis Manager, Whitey Herzog. Still, Hernandez did help the Cards win the 1982 World Series.
Jason Isringhausen, Pitcher.
The Cardinals closer from 2002 to 2008, Isringhausen recorded 217 Saves with a 2.98 ERA. The Cards closer was an All Star in 2005 and led the NL in Saves in 2004. He would help St. Louis win the World Series in 2006.
Tim McCarver, Catcher.
Playing 1,181 Games for St. Louis, the Catcher turned broadcaster was a two time All Star for the Cardinals. McCarver would finish 2nd in MVP voting in 1967, the same season he helped St. Louis win the World Series. He would smack 1,029 Hits as a Cardinal.
Mark McGwire, First Base.
McGwire famously chased (and took) the single season home run record as a Cardinal. He was only with the Cardinals for four and a half seasons but he belted 220 Home Runs with a .420 On Base Percentage while he played there. He was also named to three All Star Games, earned a Silver Slugger and had two top five finishes in National League MVP voting while he was a Cardinal.
Edgar Renteria, Shortstop.
A member of the St. Louis Cardinals from 1999 to 2004, Renteria was skilled with his bat (973 Hits with a .290 Batting Average) and with his glove (two Gold Gloves). The fleet footed infielder would also swipe 148 bases and earn two Silver Sluggers in St. Louis.
Scott Rolen, Third Base.
Rolen was traded to the Cardinals during the 200 season and from 2003 to 2006 was named a National League All Star. Rolen dominated third base, winning three Gold Gloves and also producing good power numbers, belting 111 Home Runs as a Cardinal. He would help St. Louis win the 2006 World Series.
Voting is available online at cardinals.com/HOF. The top two vote getters (voting concludes on April, 14) will be officially inducted into the St. Louis Cardinals Hall of Fame this August.
We would like to congratulate the St. Louis Cardinals who in a short time has made their franchise’s Hall of Fame one of the most respected in team sports.

Beth Phoenix named to the WWE HOF
Feb 28, 2017
Published in
Not in Hall of Fame News
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.

The Top 50 Oklahoma City Thunder of all-time are now up!
Feb 27, 2017
Published in
Not in Hall of Fame News
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.
