The 2014 International Tennis Hall of Fame has announced their latest class, and it is headlined by American Lindsay Davenport, who was ranked number one in the female ranks multiple times, first hitting that mark in 1998.  She would win 38 career tournaments, three of which were Grand Slams.  These were the French (1996), Wimbledon (1999) and the U.S. Open (1997).  Davenport also added the Olympic Gold Medal in Atlanta in 1996 and the WTA Championship in 1999.


As good as Davenport was, she was often overlooked, even in her home country, as (ok, we’ll say it), smaller and prettier players received the spotlight.  Fair or not, that is the reality of women’s tennis.

Davenport will be joined by five-time Paralympic medalist Chantal Vandierendonck of the Netherlands in the recent player category, coach Nick Bollettieri, executive Jane Brown Grimes and British broadcaster John Barrett in the contributor category.

The ceremony will take place in Newport, Rhode Island on July 12th


The Kansas City Chiefs have announced that the 44th Member of their Hall of Fame will be their former Running Back, Priest Holmes.  Holmes was undrafted in 1997 coming out of the University of Texas, but was signed as a free agent by the Baltimore Ravens.  He won the starting role in 1998 and hit the 1,000 Yard Rushing mark, but lost it to Jamal Lewis the following year.  As the backup Running Back, Holmes won a Super Bowl with the Ravens in Super Bowl XXXV, though only had 12 Yards from scrimmage in the game.  Priest Holmes would sign with the Kansas City Chiefs, and it was safe to say that not that much was expected of him.  Their expectations were wrong!

In his first year at Arrowhead, Holmes would become the first undrafted player to become the NFL’s leading rusher finishing with 1,555 Yards.  He would add another 614 Receiving Yards and would make his first Pro Bowl and First Team All Pro Selection.  Holmes would repeat stellar performances the next two years again earning Pro Bowl and First Team All Pro honors though this time leading the NFL in Rushing Touchdowns. 

He would remain in Kansas City until the end of his career in 2007, and is still the all-time leading Rusher in Chiefs history with a total of 6,070.  We congratulate Priest Holmes on this accolade and congratulate the Kansas City Chiefs for having a classy Hall of Fame.  As you would guess; we love that here!






We apologize, as this retirement slipped right by us.  Perhaps we were still in a hangover over Canada’s win in Men’s Hockey in the Olympics.  A few days ago, there was another retirement worth reporting on, this time in the world of Hockey.

Milan Hejduk, who did not play this year officially, announced his retirement from professional Hockey.  He was drafted by the Quebec Nordiques in 1994 and debuted in the NHL when the team relocated to Colorado in 1998.  The Czech born player would play fourteen seasons in the NHL, all for the Avalanche where he would have 805 Points. 

His best season was in the 2002-03 Season where he won the Maurice Richard Trophy for the most Goals in a Season and earned Second Team NHL All Star honours an also led the National Hockey League in Plus/Minus.  He finishes his career with a respectable 805 career points and a Stanley Cup Ring earned with the Avalanche in 2001.  Internationally, he was part of the Czech Republic team that won the Gold Medal in the 1998 Nagano Olympics, and he won a Bronze in Turin in 2006.

We thank Milan Hejduk for his great career, and we look forward to see what he will be up to next!





Pedro Martinez thinks he has “a shot” to make the Baseball Hall of Fame.  In our opinion, he should have a lot more than that.

The former Cy Young Award winner and World Series Champion with the Boston Red Sox talked with reporters yesterday about the Boston Red Sox Hall of Fame (which he was selected for the 2014 Class) and the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown.

“It’s a great honor to actually go into the Red Sox Hall of Fame,” Martinez said. “I don’t (have) enough words to thank the organization. I’m extremely proud to have been chosen to go into the Hall of Fame, really happy. I think this once again makes me more of a Bostonian than ever. I keep saying I’m a Bostonian, and now, I can’t go away anymore”

Although the Red Sox have been criticized for seemingly inducted everybody into their Hall of Fame, when you become a part of any team’s Hall of Fame that is as well known as the Red Sox, it is an honor.  Pedro was selected with Roger Clemens, Nomar Garciaparra and Radio Broadcaster Joe Castiolagone.


Martinez comments on the possibility of the Baseball Hall of Fame, indicated a lot of cautious optimism. 

 “I’m looking forward to that.   There’s only so much I can do. As of now, I’m just like you, hoping and waiting to get another chance to make it in back-to-back years, Boston and then the Hall of Fame. I think I should have a shot, but like I said, it’s not up to me, and I can only hope and wait.”


Martinez should have more than “a shot”.   He should be considered a top contender for the Baseball Hall of Fame, and by our accounts should get in.  The question is whether or not he gets in on the first ballot or one after.
