HHOF 2015 Class Announced!
Jun 29, 2015
Published in
Not in Hall of Fame News
We imagine the city of Detroit is rejoicing today with the announcement of the latest class of the Hockey Hall of Fame.
Nicklas Lidstrom will be entering the Hockey Hall on his first try, which should be a surprise to nobody. The Swedish born Defenceman, who was ranked #1 by us on Notinhalloffame.com helmed the Red Wings to four Stanley Cup wins and earned the Norris Trophy seven times.
Our number #3 selection, Chris Pronger will also be inducted. Pronger, who has not officially retired but has not played in the NHL for three years due to post-concussion syndrome is also a former Norris Trophy winner and won the Hart Trophy in 2000. Pronger also won the Stanley Cup in 2007 as a member of the Anaheim Ducks.
Sergei Fedorov, a teammate of Lidstrom on three Stanley Cups will be enshrined in Toronto too. The flashy forward is a former Hart Trophy winner (2004) and two time Frank J. Selke winner. The Soviet born player was ranked at #4 by us.
A mild surprise is the induction of American born Defenceman, Phil Housley, who holds the record for the most points for a blueliner born in the U.S. Housley has been eligible since 2006 and was ranked #14 at Notinhalloffame.com
The remainder of this year’s class includes Bill Hay, a former President of Hockey Canada, American female player, Angela Ruggerio, and Peter Karmonos Jr., the owner of the Carolina Hurricanes
A perceived snub by many is that of Eric Lindros, whose HOF momentum has been growing in recent years.
Next month, we here at Notinhalloffame.com will unveil our new ranking for next year.

Antoine Walker Headlines UK HOF
Jun 27, 2015

Not in Hall of Fame News
The University of Kentucky has just announced the next class into their Hall of Fame, and a quick look breeds some familiar faces to the sporting world. The Hall, which was first founded in 2005, will be adding seven new members.
The headliner (in our eyes anyway) is Antoine Walker, who was a Power Forward on the 1996 NCAA Championship Team. Walker was also named the SEC Tournament MVP and was First Team SEC in ’96. He would go on to have a successful career in the NBA, mostly with the Boston Celtics where he would be a three time All Star. Walker was also a member of the 2006 NBA Championship Miami Heat team.
From the gridiron, “The Hefty Lefty”, Jared Lorenzen will also be inducted. Lorenzen was the Quarterback for the Wildcats from 2000 to 2003 and amassed over 10,000 Passing Yards. He would go on to the NFL, playing backup for the New York Giants and earned a Super Bowl Ring.
A historic induction also comes with Nate Northington, who was the first African-American to play football for the Wildcats and for the matter the first man of color to play in the SEC. Greg Page, who would have joined Northington as the first black man to play in the SEC will also be inducted. Page passed away before he could play for Kentucky due to complications from a neck injury suffered in practice.
The other three inductees include Andy Green (Baseball), Lisa Breiding-Deurr (Track & Field) and Taryn Ignacio-Black (Swimming).
We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to congratulate the latest class to the UK Hall of Fame.

Red Sox to Retire Pedro Martinez' Number

Not in Hall of Fame News
It will take us time, but we here at Notinhalloffame.com are planning to take a look at the greatest players of each major franchise and subsequently how each one of them looks at their respective Halls of Fame/Rings of Honor or Retired Number selection.
Saying that one of the most prestigious baseball teams, the Boston Red Sox have announced that they will be retiring the number of former Pitcher, Pedro Martinez, marking the ninth time in franchise history that the team has offered that accolade. His number 45, will join that of Bobby Doerr (#1), Joe Cronin (#4), Johnny Pesky (#6), Carl Yastrzemski (#8), Ted Williams (#9), Jim Rice (#14), Carlton Fisk (#27) and the mandated retired number 42 of Jackie Robinson. The ceremony will take place on July 28, two days after he is to be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame.
In the seven seasons that Pedro Martinez compiled with the Red Sox, Martinez collected two Cy Young Awards, won the ERA title four times, the WHIP title four times and compiled a stellar 117 and 37 won/loss record. Martinez was also a large part of the 2004 team that won the World Series.

Pete Rose's HOF Chances just got more remote
Jun 22, 2015

Not in Hall of Fame News
I don’t about the rest of you but I was really beginning to think that the chances of Pete Rose entering the Baseball Hall of Fame were increasing.
With a new commissioner in place (Rob Manfred), who was distancing himself from Bud Selig, a major obstacle was removed. Manfred himself had said that it was something he was open to talk about. Many of the fellow baseball players who predated Rose and were against him being in the Hall are no longer with us. Rampant PED use made his gambling sins look tame in comparison.
As we all know, Rose was banned from baseball when it was proven that he bet on games while as a Manager for the Cincinnati Reds, allegations he denied for years until he admitted it in a 2004 autobiography, though he stated that he never bet on the game as a player, and it was never proven that he did…
Until now.
A report from ESPN’s “Outside The Lines” shows concrete evidence that Rose did place wagers as a player and did so with mob-connected bookmakers, information that will likely render his appeal for reinstatement moot as this uncovers another deception against the rules of baseball.
At age 74, Rose does not likely have the time to get forgiveness for this latest or recently discovered) transgression. It is also interesting that it was expected that Rose would have some involvement in the All Star Game that is being held in Cincinnati in three weeks, though that participation will probably be revoked.
We here at Notinhalloffame.com feel that Pete Rose is still a Hall of Famer, but our expectations of that happening are gone now.
