We really love the idea of this one!

Soon to be located in Milwaukee, The Bobblehead Museum has announced that the bobblehead of Pete Rose, baseball’s all-time hit king will be the first inductee.  The vote was decided by an online poll.

Rose will be on hand for the ceremony at the Pabst Theatre and will participate in a Q&A session after. 

This appears to be a very fun project and perhaps we will make a pilgrimage there to see the vast collection that they are in the process of procuring.  This might be the most fun Hall of Fame ever…with the exception of our Fictitious Athlete and Fictitious Rock and Roll Halls of Fame, of course!







It was announced that Keith Emerson, from the successful Progressive Rock group, Emerson, Lake and Palmer passed away at the age of 71 due to a self-inflicted gunshot in his home in Santa Monica, California. 

Emerson was regarded as one of the best keyboardist player in rock and roll history, first as a member of the Nice, and then with ELP, the perfect vehicle for him (along with Greg Lake and Carl Palmer) to showcase his talent.  After a spectacular set at the Isle of Wight festival, ELP was signed with Atlantic and would put out three Prog Rock staples, Tarkus, Trilogy and Brain Salad Surgery, all of which were considered classics in the relatively new genre.

ELP would continue to put out music and Emerson would embark on a solo career of his own.

We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to extend our condolences to the friends and Family of Keith Emerson at this time.



It is another sad day in the basketball world as Clyde Lovellette has passed away at age 86 from cancer.

Lovellette was a star player for the Kansas Jayhawks and would take his team to the NCAA Championship in 1952 and was named the Most Outstanding Player in the tournament.  That year he would also be part of the United States win at the 1952 Helsinki Olympics. 

He would join the Minneapolis Lakers in 1953 and in his rookie season was an NBA Champion, making him one of the few players in history to win the NCAA, NBA and Olympic Championships.  The big man would be a four time All Star and late in his career with the Boston Celtics would win two more NBA titles.

Lovellette would be inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame in 1988. 

We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to extend our condolences to the friends and family of Clyde Lovellette at this time.



This has gone relatively unnoticed but another former Pro Bowl Quarterback has called an end to his playing career.  Matt Hasselbeck has announced his retirement from the game and will begin work as an analyst for ESPN.

Coming out of Boston College, Hasselbeck was drafted in the sixth round of the 1998 draft by the Green Bay Packers and would be traded two years after in a trade to the Seattle Seahawks, where his former coach, Mike Holmgren, was now at. 

Taking over as the full time starter for good in 2003, Hasselbeck would go to his first of three Pro Bowls and for a six year stretch was viewed as one of the better pivots in the National Football League. 

Injuries would take its toll on Hasselbeck but he would be a very capable reserve with the Tennessee Titans and later the Indianapolis Colts, who released him after this season.

Matt Hasselbeck retires with 3,222 Completions, 5,330 Attempts with a 60.5 Completion Rating.  He finished with 36,638 Yards with 212 Touchdown Passes.  He will be eligible for the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2021, but is unlikely to get past a preliminary induction.

We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to congratulate Matt Hasselbeck on his great NFL career and wish him the best in his new role at ESPN.
