Mark Teixeira to retire. Hall of Famer?
Aug 06, 2016
Published in
Not in Hall of Fame News
We needed a day to digest this.
New York Yankees First Baseman, Mark Teixeira has announced that this season will be his last in Major League Baseball. At the start of the season had stated that he hoped to play another five years but as of this writing he has a Batting Average of only .202 and a bWAR under zero and Teixeira has cited that the body is no longer willing.
Teixeira will retire with some very interesting statistics, some of which reflect a Hall of Fame career, some if which do not.
A lot has been made of being one of the few members of the 400 Home Run/5 Gold Gloves club, a very impressive display of power and defense. He has been chosen for three All Star Games, won three Silver Sluggers, and has a chance to finish with 1,300 career RBIs.
Sabremetrically speaking he is in the conversation with a 52.2 bWAR and 45.1 JAWS, numbers that are nearly identical to another, that of Fred McGriff, who appears to be on the wrong end of the Hall of Fame discussion. It also does not help that Teixeira will finish below 2,000 Hits, a key traditional metric and his career Batting Average of .261 does not blow anyone away.
At first glance, this appears to us as a player who will merit discussion, and from our end possibly debut in the 25 to 35 range on our Notinhalloffame.com baseball list.
But that is all this is…a first glance.
We have some years to debate this Baseball Hall of Fame candidate, but that is not what is important now.
Let’s thank Mark Teixeira for his outstanding career, and enjoy the two more months we can watch him play.

The Hockey List has been revised, Teemu Selanne now #1
Aug 06, 2016
Published in
Not in Hall of Fame News
Updating and expansion…
That is what we will be doing (sort of) with our hockey revisions.
As most of you know, the Hockey Hall of Fame recently inducted three players from our notinhalloffame.com hockey list, Eric Lindros, Sergei Makarov and Rogie Vachon. Lindros was ranked #1 by us last year and Makarov had been in varying spots in our top six since our website’s inception seven years ago.
When this occurs, it is always time for us to re-evaluate our list and we do that by looking at the following:
1. Analyzing your votes and opinions and adjusting our rankings accordingly.
2. Inputting the new hockey players who will now be eligible for the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2017.
We added several new players and rather than present the new “100”, we have 107 for your consideration as we did not take out those who did not make that round number. Rather, our intention is to expand it to 150. Look for that this winter.
Until then, let’s present the new Notinhalloffame.com Hockey List.
Teemu Selanne is now eligible for the Hockey Hall of Fame and the “Finnish Flash” takes over the top spot. Selanne retired as a Point per Game player and famously scored 76 Goals in his rookie season. He is also a four time post season All Star.
Don Cherry has been on our list since the beginning either in the first, second or third spot. The outspoken host of Coach’s Corner on Hockey Night in Canada has been ranked 2nd on our list the last two years. He remains in that slot this year.
Paul Kariya, Mark Recchi, Theoren Fleury and Alexander Mogilny all moved up one spot to #3 though #6 respectively. They are followed by Bernie Nicholls who moved up to spots to #7.
Daniel Alfredsson debuts at #8. The “love him or hate him” Swedish forward should garner interesting votes and comments from all of you!
Jeremy Roenick (#9) and Dave Andreychuk (#10) round out the top ten.
There are two new additions to the top 60. Five time All Star Defenceman, Ed Jovanovski, and Goalie, Nikolai Khabibulin debut at #46 and #51 respectively.
Ray Whitney, a member of the 1,000 Point club misses out on the top 60 making his first appearance at #61. Former Stanley Cup Winning Goalie, Tim Thomas appears at #81.
We received emails and comments that we may have missed some players in previous lists. Upon further review, we have agreed and three new former players who have been previously eligible but never ranked by us are now part of the list.
Those players are former 60 Goal scorer, Dennis Maruk (#70), 4 time All Star, Bill Guerin (#71) and 2 time All Star blueliner, Mathieu Schneider (#88).
You know what we want you to do!
Take a look at the new rankings and cast your vote and offer your opinions!

Defensive Tackle, Kevin Williams Retires
Jul 30, 2016
Published in
Not in Hall of Fame News
Another day…another retirement worth looking at in sports.
Defensive Tackle, Kevin Williams retired after signing a one-day contract with the Minnesota Vikings, the team in which he started 171 Games with. Williams was drafted by the Vikings in the first round (9th overall) in 2003 and immediately became a starter for the team. Over his eleven years in Minnesota, Williams would record 60 Quarterback Sacks and was chosen as a First Team All-Pro five times as well as six Pro Bowls. He would play his last two seasons with the Seattle Seahawks and New Orleans Saints respectively.
While Kevin Williams is not someone whose name seems to be associated with a Pro Football Hall of Fame induction his overall resume is not out of line with a discussion about his merits. He will be eligible for the Hall in 2021 and will likely make the bottom half of our Notinhalloffame.com Football list.
We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to thank Kevin Williams for his career and we wish him the best with his post gridiron career.

Amar'e Stoudemire Retires. HOFer?
Jul 30, 2016
Published in
Not in Hall of Fame News
We waited a little bit before we decided to discuss the retirement of Amar’e Stoudemire from the National Basketball Association at the age of 33. Perhaps it was because it is not know at this time if he will continue to play overseas or because we are not even certain that this will hold. Regardless, we are going to do that now and ask the question we always ask when we have a retirement of this magnitude; is Amar’e Stoudemire a Hall of Famer?
Coming out of High School as the 9th overall pick in the 2002 Draft, The Phoenix Suns had an immediate star as the big man won the NBA Rookie of the Year Award. He helped elevate Phoenix to an NBA Championship contender, pairing with Steve Nash forming one of the most devastating pairings in professional basketball.
Five times with the Suns, Stoudemire would make the All-Star Team and he was named a Second Team All-NBA selection three times and a First Team Selection once. In 2007, he would finish second in MVP voting to the eventual winner, Kobe Bryant.
Opting out of his contract with Suns, Amar’e Stoudemire joined Carmelo Anthony and the New York Knicks and was still in superstar form, earning another All Star Game appearance and a Second Team All-NBA nod. Injuries would however pile up and season after season the 6’ 10’’ Stoudemire would become a shell of what he once was. He would finish his career with stints with Dallas and Miami.
On Tuesday, Stoudemire signed with the Knicks and announced his NBA retirement, proudly stating “Once a Knick, Always a Knick” (though his run in Phoenix was far superior).
Although Amar’e has no college resume (which can factor in the to Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame) his five All-NBA selections put him on the black side of the Springfield ledger. He has good career number with a PER of 21.8 and 92.5 Win Shares, though his relatively low VORP (16.81) might raise a few eyebrows and his career Rebounds/Game are not huge for a man his size.
Stating that, Amar’e Stoudemire is a player who competed in the NBA All-Star Game six times; a number that equates to many as a Hall of Famer, though we aren’t ready to usher him in just yet.
He will be eligible for the Basketball Hall of Fame in 2021 and will likely be placed on the lower end of our top ten of our Notinhalloffame.com Basketball List. With Kobe Bryant and Tim Duncan eligible the same year, Amar’e won’t get in immediately, and this is one case where if he got inducted in his second year or never, the result would yield equal surprise.
Still, we would like to thank Amar’e for the wonderful run and the memories he gave fans in Phoenix, New York and the NBA fans world over. It was a great career!
