Gang you know the drill. Check it out, and cast your votes and let us know whether you think they deserved their Hall of Fame induction. Look for upcoming classes soon!


We almost missed this one. Finding Baseball Hall of Fame players who rally against the steroids era superstars entering Cooperstown is easy. We have written about it here, and the internet is littered with stories about it. However, we found something interesting on the pennlive.com Sports section whereby Gaylord Perry said he would honor those players should they got in. He added that he believed that some of them would get in; but that is as much as we would learn from the former master of the “Spitball”.


          Perry never said (or at least the piece didn’t) whether he thought they should be in; just that he would “honor” them. At the very least, we can assume he means that he won’t publically throw a hissy fit (as we would expect many of the HOFers would do) should  This could be because he legitimately thinks that, or because he knows he is the one player who might be publically ridiculed if he did.

          Actually his name comes up a lot lately. Countless writers and bloggers will talk about the hypocrisy of Baseball’s Hall of Fame for excluding the PED users and including Perry; who was known for using the illegal Spitball, which involved the doctoring of a ball to make the pitch move atypically. He was only caught once, but did admit to using it often; hence the confusion as to what is “acceptable” cheating in MLB, and what isn’t it.

          Come to think of it; is there any other Hall of Famer you would rather hear from?

         


With all the talk of Performance Enhancing Drugs in the world of Baseball, it is nice to look at a genuine superstar of the last twenty five years who has never been linked to a syringe. This weekend, the Seattle Mariners will honor Ken Griffey Jr., and make him the seventh man to enter their Hall of Fame.


“Junior” spent his entire 20’s (and one teen year) in a Mariners uniform and easily had his best seasons while playing in the Pacific Northwest. He was a statistical juggernaut there, winning the AL MVP in 1997 and leading the League in WAR three times, Home Runs four times and had an OPS over one on four occasions. He never had a bad season in Seattle and with the exception of Edgar Martinez, is likely the best Seattle Mariner of all time.

After he left Seattle for Cincinnati, his game deteriorated and he was never a “great” player again. As such, PED use was never suspected of the Griffey Jr., as many of his slugging peers had better power seasons in their 30’s, while Ken aged the way you would expect of a mortal human being.

In 2016 Ken Griffey Jr, will be eligible for the Baseball Hall of Fame and we are certain he will be a lock for first year induction. This is a nice first step on his way to Cooperstown.


It is that time again here at Notinhalloffame.com. We have officially revamped our Basketball list, and there are a lot of changes from top to bottom. We have always been critical about the Basketball Hall, which has not been the easiest to follow, and is not high on the public consciousness in comparison to the sports’ popularity. However, it is a sport that we love, and as such, it is time to revise the list.

Our top two entries from last year’s list were inducted when first time nominee, Gary Payton (#1) and long-time nominee (#2) Bernard King were selected for induction. As such the top five has gone an overhaul, and we have a new number one selection.

We have selected first year nominee, Chris Webber as the number one selection for the Notinhalloffame.com list. C-Webb, had a very good professional career, mostly with the Sacramento Kings where he was a hair away from obtaining an NBA Finals appearance. Webber was also part of the Michigan Wolverines’ “Fab Five” which may not have won an NCAA Championship, but is easily the most famous team in collegiate Basketball over the last twenty-five years.

Spencer Haywood, who we feel was snubbed last year, has moved from #3 to #2. The #3 slot has been taken by first year nominee, Alonzo Mourning.

There are more first year nominees entering the Notinhalloffame.com Basketball list. This includes Penny Hardaway (#23), Sam Cassell (#39), Robert Horry (#46), Eddie Jones (#48), Shareef Abdur-Rahim (#51) and Steve Francis (#58).

As always, you can place your votes and opinions right now, and your votes do affect future rankings!
