It is a very sad day for Baseball fans as it was learned yesterday that the “Mr. Cub”, Ernie Banks passed away at the age of 83. 

Banks was not just “Mr. Cub”, he was the greatest and most important player in the history of the Chicago Cubs the team he played his entire career for. 

Over his nineteen year career in Baseball, Banks was a two time National League MVP (1958 & 1959), a two time Home Run Champion (’58 & ’60), a two time RBI Champion (’58 & ’60) and a fourteen time All Star and would accumulatively would blast 512 Home Runs with a 67.5 bWAR.

Banks was not just popular at Wrigley, but of all of Baseball as his infectious personality made him a popular figure everywhere.  Although Banks was never able to make it to the post season he was a first ballot Hall of Fame inductee.  His number was the first retired by the Cubs and when news of his death occurred, the city of Chicago (White Sox fans too) began mourning. 

We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to extend our condolences to friends, family and the Cubs organization at this time.    




Cleveland Cavalier Forward, Shawn Marion has announced that this will be his final season in the NBA.  The 36 year old currently has a 8.9 Point per Game Average, the lowest of his career, though still respectable, is seeking his second NBA Championship.

“The Matrix” began his career with the Phoenix Suns where he would become part of a very competitive team and twice eclipse the 20 Points per Game mark and four times make the All Star Game.  He was also a ferocious rebounder and would hit the double digit average five times in that category.  In 2004/05 and 2005/06, Marion would be named a Third Team All Star, and as a Sun had five seasons with a PER over 20.

Although Marion would go into decline in his later years with the Dallas Mavericks, but as more of a role player, he was a major contributor to the Mavs lone NBA title in 2011.

Asking the question that we always ask here, “Is Shawn Marion a Hall of Famer”, we are initially leaning towards no, but recognized that he will have a healthy rank once eligible.

Either way, we think he will merit some serious Hall of Fame discussion, and we are looking forward to hearing the thoughts about his career.

Pete Rose is never one to shy away from letting people know what he thinks.  In a television interview with Reuters today, the Hit King was asked if he thought if the Steroids players should get into the Baseball Hall of Fame. 

Rose wasn’t on the fence with his answer at all.

Would I vote for Roger Clemens? You're damn right I would. Would I vote for Barry Bonds? You're damn right I would. These guys are seven-time MVPs, seven-time Cy Young Award winner."

When asked about his own Hall of Fame case Rose continued to be contrite as he has been in many other interviews blaming himself for his exclusion from the game though hopeful that the new commissioner, Rob Manfred, will give him a second chance and that hopefully with the All Star Game being in Cincinnati, he will be able to be a part of it in some capacity.

Frankly, we hope so too!
