The Texas Rangers have announced that former infielder, Michael Young, will become the next inductee into their franchise Hall of Fame.

Young was a Texas Ranger from 2000 to 2013 and has the team record in At Bats, Runs Scored, Hits, Total Bases, Doubles and triples and is a seven time All Star.  Young would twice lead the American League in Hits (2005 & 2011) and won the Batting Title in ’05.  He is also a five time Texas Rangers Player of the Year.

His overall statistics as a Texas Rangers includes a Slash Line of .301/.347/.444 with 2,230 Hits and 177 Home Runs.  He finished eighth in MVP voting twice.

Young becomes the 20th player to make the Texas Rangers Hall of Fame and he is ranked eleventh in our all-time Texas Rangers list.

We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to congratulate Michael Young for earning this prestigious honor.

It was not that long ago that I was left speechless when my musical hero, David Bowie died a few months ago.

It has happened for me again as Muhammad Ali, “The Greatest” died at age 74.

There is absolutely nothing I can tell you about Ali, that you don’t already know.  This was not just a boxer, but a man of unique conviction who always stood up for what he believed in and was not just a sporting icon but one who transcended sports the world over.

The photo of him destroying Sonny Liston hangs over my desk, videos of his soliloquies are in my hard drive.

I am at a loss.

RIP: Muhammad.  The world will never be the same.



The first two official inductees for the Hockey Hall of Fame Class of 2016 has been announced as New York Rangers’ play-by-play announcer, Sam Rosen, and Chicago Tribune columnist, Bob Verdi will be enshrined this coming November.

Rosen will be receiving the Foster Hewitt Award, which is awarded annually for outstanding contributions as a broadcaster.

Rosen has been the lead announcer for the Rangers since 1984 and famously called the 1994 Stanley Cup win.

Bob Verdi will be given the Elmer Ferguson Memorial Award for excellence in hockey journalism as per the Professional Hockey Writer’s Association.

We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to congratulate these two inductees and are eagerly awaiting the full batch of players and contributors for this year’s class.

“I don’t want to be a belong to any club that will accept me as a member.”

Ok, that Groucho Marx quote isn’t exactly accurate, but Steve Miller still isn’t happy about being in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

As we discussed previously, Miller was quite vocal about his distaste for the 2016 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Ceremony, of which he was finally inducted after a long wait.  Miller infamously railed on the Hall at the post ceremony press conference but on the Howard Stern Show, he had a lot more to say:

“It's gonna get better. I'm gonna get these guys. They're gonna be sorry that they treated all these people this way…I'm planning to keep it in the news. I'm planning to investigate them. I've already got all of their public documents. I want to see where they're spending the money. I wanna see who's being paid. I wanna check it all out ... The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's actually going to go to Cleveland. The Museum's actually gonna mean something. The funding they raise is actually gonna be used for music education before I'm done."

Miller trashed the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame committee, calling them “fucked-up” and “inbred”.

Is this the rambling of a cranky old man or is Miller on to something with the Rock and Roll Hall?

Either way, it will always be interesting in Cleveland.
