We here at Notinhalloffame.com always take the time to look at any major retirement in sports, especially in Baseball, as anyone who has ten seasons under their belt is automatically placed on the ballot once eligible.

Saying that, San Francisco Giants Relief Pitcher, Jeremy Affeldt has announced his retirement after fourteen seasons in Major League Baseball.

Over his career, Affeldt excelled in the middle relief position, and while he was never an All Star, as a member of the San Francisco Giants, the team in which he spent the last half of his career with, he would win three World Series Rings, as he helped San Francisco to a title in 2010, 2012 and 2014. 

It should be noted that Affeldt’s post season record over eleven series’ shows him with a ERA of 0.86, and a WHIIP of 0.702 over 31.1 Innings; an indicator of his skills when the lights shone brightest.

While he is unlikely to get a single vote five years from now on his first Baseball Hall of Fame ballot, Giants fans will remember his work to get them three championships.  Those three rings area lot better than most of the Baseball Hall of Famers have!





Our long and arduous work in progress of ranking the top fifty players for every North American sorts team is underway, but after that is completed we will then take a look how each franchise honors their own in terms of respective franchise halls of fame, ring of honors, retired numbers and statues.

As such it is noteworthy to us that on February 9 on the New Jersey Devils’ home game against the Edmonton Oilers that the franchise will officially retire the number of Martin Brodeur’s #30 and officially unveil a statue in his honor.

For anyone aware of the history of the New Jersey Devils, it is next to impossible to debate that the Goaltender is not the most important member of the New Jersey Devils in the team’s history. 

While playing with New Jersey, Martin Brodeur would take the Devils to three Stanley Cups, would win the Vezina Trophy four times, the William M. Jennings Award five times, the Calder Trophy and was named a First Team All Star three times and a Second Team All Star four times.  Brodeur would also lead the NHL in Goals Against Average once, and Wins nine times.  He is also the all-time leader in that category and will be a first ballot Hockey Hall of Fame inductee.

We would like to congratulate Martin Brodeur and the New Jersey Devils at this time.



Wrestling fans all known that Hulk Hogan hasn’t been having a good year.  In light of his recent scandal in which he uttered racial slurs towards African-Americans, he was released from his contract and was removed from many aspects of the WWE’s media platform and his name is not on the company’s Hall of Fame website.

It needs to be noted that the WWE has never publically stated that they have removed Hogan from the Hall (nor have they with Jimmy “Superfly” Snuka who will go to trial for the murder of his mistress from over thirty years ago), however from comments he has just made on Ric Flair’s podcast, he appears to think that he has been removed:

“That Hall of Fame ring is my life and it’s just so sad that I’ve been taken out of the Hall of Fame and I don’t have a presence anymore in the wrestling business. But I’m going to cherish that Hall of Fame ring.”

While it is still unclear as to whether Hogan is or is not in the WWE Hall of Fame, his passion towards it shows how much many of the professional wrestlers hold it dear. 




Following the end of the Chicago Cubs playoff season, Pitcher, Dan Haren will complete his career as a Major League Baseball player.

Haren entered MLB in 2003 with the St. Louis Cardinals and following a move to the Oakland Athletics, he would make his first All Star roster in 2007.  Haren had a good stint in Oakland, but it was with his next club, the Arizona Diamondbacks, where he would have his best run.

The starting pitcher would play for Arizona for three seasons and would make his second and third (also last) All Star Game.  He would also lead the National League in SO/W twice as well as WHIP once.  Haren would later join the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim where he would again lead the league (this time American) in SO/W.  Stints with the Washington Nationals, Los Angeles Dodgers, Miami Marlins and the Cubs would follow.

Haren will retire with a 153 and 131 record with 2,013 Strikeouts and a bWAR of 32.9.  This is a solid career, but not one that is likely to generate any serious Baseball Hall of Fame consideration.

Haren will be eligible for the Hall in five years, but even with a potential World Series Ring, he won’t get in.  Still, it is a good career, and we here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to thank Dan Haren for the memories and wish him the best in his post MLB career.
