Committee Chairman

Committee Chairman

Kirk Buchner, "The Committee Chairman", is the owner and operator of the site.  Kirk can be contacted at [email protected] .
It has been alluded that Mark Buehrle, who was left off the Toronto Blue Jays post season roster, will be retiring at the end of the season.  If that is the case, we here at Notinhalloffame.com ask the question is he a Hall of Fame pitcher?

Should this be the end of the road for Buehrle, his Hall of Fame case is aided by a few realities.  Currently, the hurler is first among active Pitchers in bWAR and is 64th overall in that category, a number that is above many HOFers but lower than the average.  His JAWS places him only at 89th overall (47.1) but his traditional 214 Wins is a very impressive number in this era.  He does have one intangible, while rarely discussed, might make his case for induction a lot stronger, his fielding.

Buehrle, a four time Gold Glove winner, has been regarded as one of the best fielding Pitchers throughout his career, and furthermore, the amount of baserunners who dare to try run off him is minimal.  This is not often discussed with the Hall of Fame candidacy of Pitchers, but here we have a fielder worth discussing!

So what do you think?

If Mark Buehrle does retire at this time, is he a Baseball Hall of Famer?

Let us know!



While the abrupt retirement of South Carolina’s Head Football Coach, Steve Spurrier, caught everyone by surprise, we here at Notinhalloffame.com immediately wondered what that would mean for the College Football Hall of Fame.  It did not take us long to find out.

According to Dennis Dodd at CBS Sports, Spurrier will become immediately eligible and has a chance to enter the College Football Hall of Fame as soon as 2017.  Spurrier, 70, is already in the College Football Hall of Fame as a player, an accolade he received in 1996 as a former Heisman Trophy winner.

As a College Head Coach, Steve Spurrier has a 228-89-2 Record, a National Championship in 1996 with the Florida Gators and is the winningest coach in Gamecocks history.

Should Spurrier enter the College Football Hall of Fame he would become the fourth person to enter as both a player and a coach.

Although we here at Norinhalloffame.com do not currently rank those who are not in the College Football Hall of Fame, this is a scenario we will be watching closely!





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.
