Committee Chairman

Committee Chairman

Kirk Buchner, "The Committee Chairman", is the owner and operator of the site.  Kirk can be contacted at [email protected] .
The Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame has announced the six new members of their institution, which will be led by former Toronto Blue Jay, Pat Hentgen and former Montreal Expo, Dennis Martinez. 

Canadian scout, Wayne Norton, broadcaster, Tony Kubek, longtime Blue Jays executive, Howard Starkman and baseball pioneer, William Shuttleworth rounds out the latest class.

Pat Hentgen was a member of the back-to-back Toronto Blue Jays World Series Champions.  Hentgen was a three time All Star and was the first Blue Jay to win the Cy Young Award.  Hentgen went 107 and 85 with 1,028 Strikeouts as a Blue Jay and he currently works with Toronto as a special assistant.

Dennis Martinez played for the Montreal Expos from 1986 to 1993.  “El Presidente” went to three All Star Games as an Expo, won the 1991 ERA Title and finished his Expos tenure with a record of 100 and 72 with 973 Strikeouts.

Wayne Norton was a key figure in developing Baseball Canada by putting together the country’s first National Junior Team.  He also served as a scout for the Montreal Expos, Baltimore Orioles and the Seattle Mariners.

Howard Starkman served as the Blue Jays public relations director from 1976 to 1998 and would later become the VP of media relations and than the VP of special projects.  Starkman is a native of Toronto.

Tony Kubek spent thirteen years in the Majors as a Shortstop and was a three time World Series winner with the New York Yankees.  Kubek would be a broadcaster for the Blue Jays for thirteen seasons and in 2009 would win the prestigious Ford C. Frick Award from the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown.

In the late 1800’s William Shuttleworth helped to organize Canada’s first formal baseball team and would serve as the vice president of the first Canadian baseball organization.

The Ceremony will take place at the home of the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame in St. Marys, Ontario on June 18.

We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to congratulate the latest class. 

Unless he changes his mind, we have a major retirement on our hands.

It was reported today that multiple sources have told ESPN that Calvin Johnson had informed the Detroit Lions and a close circle of family and friends that he will be retiring from the National Football League. 

Should this in fact be the case, the Wide Receiver known as “Megatron” has put up a stellar NFL career that includes the following:


3 First Team All Pro Selections

5 Pro Bowls

1 Receptions Title

2 Receiving Yards Title

731 Receptions

11,619 Receiving Yards

83 Receiving Touchdowns

15.9 Yards/Reception 


Calvin Johnson may not have the career numbers of some of the current former Wide Receivers who are chasing Canton, but he does have elite seasons, and was a game changer.  This makes him in our eyes a bona fide Hall of Fame contender, which he will become eligible for in 2021.

Should this be the end of Calvin Johnson’s career, we here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to thank “Megatron” for the memories and wish him the best in his post-playing career.

Terrell Owens is a Football Hall of Fame Finalist, but not everybody is happy about that. 

Former St. Louis Rams Head Coach, Mike Martz, spoke with the St. Louis Post-Dispatch and was very candid about he felt about Owens being a Finalist, while his former receivers, Isaac Bruce and Torry Holt were not. 

"You can't print how I felt when T.O. leapfrogged those two. That's just plain out-and-out ridiculous.  If they big-timed it and did all that dumb stuff, they'd get in probably earlier.  I think they'll eventually get in. I don't think that's an issue, but it's tragic that people think of them like that. If Marvin Harrison gets in, how could they not get in?

Look at their production. More importantly, look at their yards per catch. And then look at it consistently over a long period of time -- it'll compare to anybody. In some cases, nobody comes close. I mean nobody's even come close to what Torry did."

Along with Owens, Marvin Harrison is one of two Wide Receivers who made the Finalists for the Hall of Fame.  Bruce and Holt did not make that cut this year.

For reference here are the key statistics for all four players:






Receptions

Receiving Yards

Touchdowns

Yards/Rec

All-Purpose Yards

Owens

1,087

15,934

156

14.8

16,276

Harrison

1,102

14,580

128

13.2

14,805

Bruce

1,024

15,208

91

14.9

15,347

Holt

920

13,382

74

14.5

13,456




While T.O. does seem to have the greater overall statistics, all four are Hall of Fame caliber and it is worth noting however that Owens is the only one without a Super Bowl Ring.

Martz might be upset over the perceived snub of his Wide Receivers, he does have two players, Quarterback, Kurt Warner and Offensive Lineman, Orlando Pace have made the final round.

On Saturday, the next class of the Pro Football Hall of Fame will be announced, and you can believe we will be watching intensely!



The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame will be having an exhibit this weekend devoted to the 2012 inductee, The Beastie Boys.

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame curator, Meredith Rutledge-Bolger told Cleveland.co that they had “a rich, deep collection of stuff” from when the Beastie Boys were inducted in 2012. 

This includes hand written lyrics to “Brass Monkey” the Volkswagon medallion that belonged to Mike D, and their outfits from the “Intergalactic” video.

Perhaps we have another reason to visit Cleveland?
