Torii Hunter to the Minnesota Twins HOF
Jan 30, 2016
Published in
Not in Hall of Fame News
Last fall, the Minnesota Twins announced that the two year waiting period following retirement to be eligible had been lifted. This paces way for today’s announcement that Torii Hunter will be entering the organization’s Hall of Fame following his retirement last year.
Torii Hunter sent twelve of his nineteen seasons with Minnesota; his first eleven and the final one of his career. As a Twin, he was an All Star twice and a Gold Glove winner seven times. His overall numbers in Minnesota saw him accumulate 1,323 Hits, 214 Home Runs, a .268/.321/.462 Slash Line and a bWAR of 26.2.
Hunter will not be entering alone as he will be joined by John Gordon, who broadcasted Minnesota games from 1987 to 2011.
To enter the Twins Hall of Fame, a player needs to receive 60 percent of the 66 member committee, which consists of media members, former players and Twins officials. Hunter received all 66 votes. Gordon’s path to election came through the 23 member Veteran’s Committee.
Torri Hunter becomes the 19th player to be inducted, and the selection of Hunter and Gordon marks the first inductees since 2013. Former Second Baseman, Chuck Knoblauch was scheduled to be inducted in 2014, but the Twins revoked that upon being charged with assaulting his ex-wife.
We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to congratulate the latest class of the Minnesota Twins Hall of Fame.

The Cleveland Indians have announced their latest class for their franchise’s Hall of Fame, which includes a current Baseball Hall of Fame and a future one.
The Class of 2016 consists of Jim Thome, Albert Belle, Frank Robinson and Charlie Jamieson, who will all be officially inducted a ceremony on July 30.
Jim Thome played for the Tribe for thirteen seasons, first coming up in the 1995 season and staying there until he signed with the Philadelphia Phillies for the 2003 season.

Thome is a strong candidate for the Baseball Hall of Fame and is eligible for Cooperstown in 2018.
Albert Belle was a powerful slugger for Cleveland in the 1990’s where he was a four time All Star. Belle finished in the top three in American League MVP voting three times and was a Silver Slugger four times as an Indian. Belle would lead the AL in RBIS three times, Home Runs once, as well as winning the Slugging Title in 1995. Overall Albert Belle’s Cleveland numbers saw him tally 1,014 Hits, 242 Home Runs with a .295/.369./.580 Slash Line and a bWAR of 30.1.
Frank Robinson spent his last few years as a player as an Indian, but Robinson made history as the first African-American Manager in MLB history when he took over the helm in 1974, as a Player Manager. He would be the Indians Manager for two and a half years.
Charlie Jamieson was a member of Cleveland’s 1920 World Series Championship team. As an Indian, Jamieson would play fourteen seasons and led the league in Hits in 1923 and finished third MVP voting the following year. As a Cleveland Indian, Jamieson smacked 1,793 Hits with a Slash Line of .316/.388/.406 Slash Line with a bWAR of 21.8.
This new crop of inductees brings the total to 44 members of the Cleveland Indians Hall of Fame.

Awards = HOF? Part Thirteen: The NBA All Star Game MVP

From the Desk of the Chairman
We here at Notinhalloffame.com thought it would be fun to take a look at the major awards in North American team sports and see how it translates into Hall of Fame potential.
Needless to say, different awards in different sports yield hall of fame potential. In basketball, the team sport with the least amount of players on a roster, the dividend for greatness much higher. In baseball, it is not as much as a great individual season does not have the same impact.
