Barry Bonds got into the Hall of Fame! The Bay Area Sports Hall of Fame that is.
While Bonds is struggling to gain the necessary votes for the Baseball Hall of Fame, the city of San Francisco might be the only Baseball stronghold that holds the all-time Home Run king in high regard.

Ed Reed Retires
May 08, 2015

Not in Hall of Fame News
A major, though expected retirement has taken place in the world of Football as Ed Reed has called it a career. The former Safety returned to sign a one day contract with the Baltimore Ravens so that he could retire with the team where he had his greatest success.
Reed was drafted in the first round by Baltimore in 2002 and immediately was inserted into the starting line-up. He would quickly become a part of a potent Ravens defence and in his second year, he would be named to the Pro Bowl, the first of nine times he would receive such an honor. 2004 would see him reach an even greater height as not only did he make his first of five First Team All Pro squads and was named the AP Defensive Player of the Year. He led the National Football League in Interceptions and Interception Return Yards that year, and would again lead the NFL in picks in 2008 and 2010. Reed would also be named to the 2000’s All-Decade Team and was named the NFL Alumni Defensive Back of the Year twice.
While Reed would collect individual accolades in the 2000’s, it was in the 2012 season that he would become a Super Bowl Champion with the Ravens, his last game with the club. Reed would spend another year in the NFL with Houston Texans and New York Jets but would not play with any team in 2014, though was not retired from the game until today’s announcement.
Reed retires with 64 Interceptions and 1,590 Interception Return Yards, the latter statistic making him the all time leader in that category. Once eligible for the Pro Football Hall of Fame, we here at Notinhalloffame.com will rank Ed Reed very high, and we expect him to get inducted into Canton quickly.
UFC Revamping Their HOF
May 06, 2015
Published in
Not in Hall of Fame News
We here at Notinhalloffame.com have been critical of the UFC Hall of Fame as it seemed to induct fighters arbitrarily and had no physical presence. We aren’t saying that they necessarily listened to us (we are pretty sure they haven’t), but they have announced a major step that shows that they are making some serious steps to make their Hall of Fame a much more respectable entity.
The first thing they announced is that they will induct a new class at the Fan Expo on July 11 prior to UFC 189. The key word that popped out to us was “Class”, as they traditionally announced one inductee and often without any notice.
This class will consist of at least one member in the following classes:
The Modern Era Wing:
To qualify for the Modern Era Wing, a fighter must have made their professional MMA debut after November 17, 2000. That fighter must be 35 or older or at least be retired for one year. It is noted that a UFC competitor can be active (providing they are older than 35) to get in, but that is not the preference. In case you are wondering where that date comes from it is symbolic in regards to when the New Jersey State Athletic Control Board adopted the current Unified Rules of Mixed Martial Arts.
The Pioneer Era Wing:
This is for MMA fighters who made their debut prior to the November 17, 2000 date.
The Contributors Wing:
This is just as it sounds. This is for non-fighters who made a significant contribution to the sport.
The Fight Wing:
This unique wing will reflect the great fights of UFC. TO qualify, a fight must be at least five years old.
It was announced that there will be at least one inductee in each category from 2015 to 2017.
There is also talk that this will eventually lead to a physical Hall of Fame for UFC.
While there will be legitimate criticisms, these are major steps to make this Hall of Fame matter.
Ted Simmons headlines new Cardinals HOF Class
May 06, 2015
Published in
Not in Hall of Fame News
The St. Louis Cardinals rapidly have made their Hall of Fame one of the most prestigious in North American franchises. This Hall has just announced the four new inductees based on online fan voting.
Ted Simmons, Bob Forsch, Curt Flood and George Kissell are the second induction class following the first group of direct entries to the Hall that only opened less than two years ago.
Let’s take a quick look at the next four inductees to St. Louis Cardinals Hall of Fame:
Ted Simmons: Catcher, 1968-80
Ted Simmons, who is ranked #17 on our Notinhalloffame.com list for Baseball Hall of Fame consideration, had six All Star appearances as a member of the St. Louis Cardinals. Simmons showed off a slick bat and posted a Cardinals Slash Line of .298/.366/.459 with 172 Home Runs and a 45.3 bWAR.
Bob Forsch: Pitcher, 1974-88
At present, the third most winningest Pitcher in St. Louis Cardinals history, Bob Forsch posted a record of 163 and 127 over his lengthy tenure in St. Louis. Forsch would throw over 2,500 Innings with the Red Birds and also won two Silver Slugger Awards. Forsch had a bWAR of 21.5 in St. Louis.
Curt Flood: Outfield, 1958-69
The man whose refusal to be traded set the stage for modern free agency (and it can not be understated just how important that was), was a fine Baseball player in his own right. As a St. Louis Cardinal, Curt Flood led the National League in Hits in 1964, was a three time All Star and won the Gold Glove seven consecutive years. In St. Louis, Curt Flood recorded 1,853 Hits with a 30.0 bWAR.
George Kissell: 1940-2008
The man who was known for creating “The Cardinal Way” spent nearly seventy years with the team, initially as a minor league player and then as a scout. He would be later dubbed “The Professor” and was valued as an integral part of not just the team but the culture of the organization.
Specifically, Simmons and Forsch were chosen through the online fan vote. Curt Flood was chosen via a “Red Ribbon Panel”, a group of fifteen Cardinals experts. Kissell was elected via the club’s annual choice for the “individual who has been an important figure in Cardinals history”.
We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to congratulate this latest class, and the St. Louis Cardinals organization that has done an outstanding job with this Hall of Fame.
