Committee Chairman

Committee Chairman

Kirk Buchner, "The Committee Chairman", is the owner and operator of the site.  Kirk can be contacted at [email protected] .
You will have to forgive us, as we are a little late on this one. 

Wide Receiver, Reggie Wayne, has announced that he will be officially retiring.  Wayne had asked for his release at the end of pre-season from the New England Patriots this year, but not was able to latch on to any other team. 

With this official retirement, Reggie Wayne retires with some serious Hall of Fame credentials.  A six time Pro Bowl Selection, Wayne caught 1,070 passes for 14,345 Yards and 82 Touchdowns, and is 7th, 8th and 23rd respectively in those categories, all-time.

Those are good statistics but this is not all that has been accomplished by Wayne, who with the exception of this year’s preseason with New England played all of his thirteen seasons with the Indianapolis Colts.  Wayne is a former First Team All Pro and a two time Second Team All Pro and in 21 Playoff Games, caught 93 passes for 1,254 Yards and 9 Touchdowns and was a member of the Colts Super Bowl win in the 2006 season.

Wayne will be available for the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2020 and will be on our Notinhalloffame.com football list once eligible. 

Thank you Mr Wayne for the memories and we wish you the best of luck in your post playing endeavors.

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.
The Japanese Baseball Hall of Fame has announced that Pitchers, Masaki Saito and Kimiyasu Kudoh will be entering their institution.

Kudoh is one of the most decorated pitchers in Japanese baseball history and becomes only the fourth player to enter the Hall on the first ballot.  Kudoh is an eleven time Japan Series Champion, a two time MVP and would lead the league in ERA four times.  Currently, Kimiyasu Kudoh is the Manager of the Fukuoka Hawks.

Masaki Saito enters the Japanese Baseball Hall of Fame on his ninth try.  Saito played his entire nineteen year career with the Yomiyuri Giants and is also a former MVP.  He is currently a coach with Yomiyuri.

Kudoh and Saito were voted in by the 275 member committee, which like the American Baseball Hall of Fame requires 75% of the vote.

Kihachi Enomoto, who was selected by the Expert Selection Committee, joins the two hurlers.  Enomoto had 2,313 Hits over his career and was the youngest player to accumulate 2,000 Hits in Japanese Baseball.

The Japanese Baseball Hall of Fame also welcomes Takizo Matsumoto and Masatake Yamanaka who were chosen from Special Selection Committee.

Matsumoto, who was a former University Professor facilitated the San Francisco Seals to play a tour in Japan against Japanese clubs in 1949.  Yamanaka coached amateur baseball and took Japan to a bronze medal at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics.

We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to congratulate the latest class for the Japanese Baseball Hall of Fame. 

Pete Rose may never get into the Baseball Hall of Fame.  However the Cincinnati Reds, the team in which Rose spent the bulk of his career with, has decided to ignore the nearly three decade ban that was upheld by Major League Baseball Commissioner, Rob Manfred, as they will be inducting the Hit King into their franchise’s Baseball Hall of Fame.

Rose, who is a native of Cincinnati, is still a revered man in that city, and this was where he led the “Big Red Machine” to two World Series Championships in the 1970’s.  As a Cincinnati Red, Rose accumulated 3,358 of his 4,256 career Hits; a number that may never be broken.  Rose would also win six Hit Titles, three Batting Titles, the Rookie of the Year and an MVP Award in Cincinnati.

The Reds will not only be inducting Rose into their Hall of Fame, but they will also be retiring his number 14, in a ceremony that will take place in June.  The organization also announced that they plan to erect a statue in his honor outside Riverfront Stadium.

While we are aware that will be some who will be angry with this decision, we here at Notinhalloffame.com are thrilled with the Cincinnati Reds for this decision, and are happy for Rose and the Baseball fans of Cincinnati.
