Nick Hardwick Retires
Feb 08, 2015
Published in
Not in Hall of Fame News
It may not have received the ceremony it deserved outside of San Diego but former Pro Bowl Center, Nick Hardwick has decided to call it a career.
The announcement came a couple of days ago, and a look at his career shows that Hardwick played 136 Games under the Quarterback for the San Diego Chargers and started every single one if them. Hardwick, who was a 2006 Pro Bowl Selection was also the winner of the Ed Block Courage Award in 2008.
While Hardwick is not really a viable candidate for the Pro Football Hall of Fame, it is conceivable that he has done enough for consideration for the San Diego Chargers Hall of Fame, which currently has 37 members.
We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to thank Nick Hardwick for his career with the Chargers and wish him the best on the next phase of his life.
Hope for Pete Rose?
Feb 07, 2015
Published in
Not in Hall of Fame News
An interesting piece of news came afoot regarding Pete Rose and the Baseball Hall of Fame this week.
The new Major League Baseball Commissioner, Rob Manfred, stated that he would be making a decision to potentially reinstate Rose to Baseball and pardon him from gambling on the sport has a lot of ears raised. Rose has been banned for twenty-five years and throughout the Bud Selig era there was no discernable talk that he would be reinstated. There is now a glimmer of hope that the Hit King of Baseball might make it to Cooperstown after all.
This news came form an interview on ESPN’s Mike and Mike Show, where the new commissioner mentioned that he had been in contact with Rose’s lawyers and that it is a “conversation he was willing to have”. It may not seem like much, but this is by far the best chance that he has had in decades.
If by chance Manfred decides to reinstate Pete Rose to Major League Baseball, this does not mean by any stretch that he would be a lock to get inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame. The Veterans Committee for Rose’s era meets next in 2016, but it is made up of many players who have never been quick to induct anybody. If whomever makes up the committee wants to still play the moral card, Rose could still be shunned from Cooperstown.
We will certainly be keeping our eyes on how this develops and are hopeful that Rose will be reinstated and take his place in Cooperstown while he is alive.
Carlos Delgado headlines Canadian Baseball HOF Class
Feb 05, 2015

Not in Hall of Fame News
Carlos Delgado may not have received the votes necessary to enter the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York, but he did receive a decent consolation prize, as he will be headlining the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame in St. Mary’s Ontario.
Delgado would play his first twelve seasons with the Toronto Blue Jays where he would make the American League All Star Team twice. In 2003, he would lead the league in Runs Batted In and OPS and would finish second in MVP voting. Accumulatively, Delgado would blast 336 Home Runs with a Slash Line of .282/.392/.556 and a bWAR of 36.7 as a Blue Jay.
Felipe Alou, a native of the Dominican Republic, joins Delgado, a Puerto Rican.
Alou’s contribution to Baseball in Canada was as the long time Manager of the Montreal Expos, a team he played 19 Games for in 1973. As the Expos Skipper, Alou would spend ten seasons there with a record of 691 and 717.
Two homegrown Canadian talents join the two Caribbean baseball stars.
From New Brunswick, former First Baseman/Outfielder/Designated Hitter, Matt Stairs will also be inducted. Stairs, who played for twelve teams over his nineteen year career, holds the career record for Pinch Hit Home Runs. In his career, Stairs would have 265 Home Runs with a 14.3 bWAR. Corey Koskie, a nine year MLB veteran from Manitoba was also selected. Koskie played most of his career with the Minnesota Twins and retired with a bWAR of 24.6. Reporter Bob Elliott was also chosen.
We would like to congratulate the next group of inductees to the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame.
Baseball List revised: Ken Griffey Jr. to the top
Feb 04, 2015
Published in
Not in Hall of Fame News
Much like we sped up our process for revising the Rock and Roll list, we did the same with our Baseball one.
Last month, the Baseball Hall of Fame announced that four players would be entering the hallowed halls of Cooperstown. Recapping those players and the rank that they had on our list are:
Randy Johnson (Ranked #3)
Pedro Martinez (Ranked #5)
Craig Biggio (Ranked #11)
John Smoltz (Ranked #13)
Along with the addition of Ken Griffey Jr., your votes and comments, there is a significant change in the top ten of our Baseball list. As per the last three years, there is a 1A, 1B and 1C to reflect both Pete Rose and “Shoeless” Joe Jackson who are not eligible for the Hall of Fame but are players who we feel should be.
The new top ten with their previous rank in parenthesis are:
1A. Pete Rose (1A)
1B. Shoeless Joe Jackson (1B)
1C. Ken Griffey Jr. (NEW)
2. Roger Clemens (2)
3. Barry Bonds (1C)
4. Mike Piazza (4)
5. Jeff Bagwell (6)
6. Mike Mussina (7)
7. Tim Raines (8)
8. Bill Dahlen (9)
9. Curt Schilling (10)
10. Lou Whitaker (12)
Griffey is not the only new entry as Jim Edmonds and Trevor Hoffman debut at 44 and 47 respectively. As there were only three new eligible players cracking the top 100, and four players on last year’s list inducted, Boog Powell returns to the list at number 100.
As always, we encourage your opinions and votes, and thank you for all of your support of Notinhalloffame.com
