At some point we plan to look at every franchise in the big four sports and look at their respective Halls of Fame and their retired numbers. As such, we would like to officially congratulate Randy Johnson and Dan Wilson who have been named to the Seattle Mariners Hall of Fame.

          The Mariners have always been an intriguing team to us, as despite the vast talent that has passed through the Pacific Northwest, Seattle has never been to the World Series. Johnson is a legitimate Cooperstown Hall of Famer and spent seasons in Seattle where he won a Cy Young and 130 wins. He is joined by Dan Wilson, who likely won’t be entering the Baseball Hall. The long time Catcher was a very popular player for Seattle, and likely is their best player at that position.

          We again congratulate them both and look forward to working on each franchises “not in hall” list.

 

Gang, as we move onward and upward we go back to our original concept which was the ranking of bands/artists for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.  As such, we are looking at the artists we have from 2013 to 2020 and are adding those we think we have missed.  once completed, we will be going forward to 2025. 

We have already uploaded additions for 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 & 2018.  Today we have a lot more new additions for the 2019 section.  They are:

Ash
Basement Jaxx
Belle & Sebastian
Brian Setzer Orchestra
Jamie Foxx
Lisa Loeb
Low
Machine Head
Method Man
MxPx
Paula Cole
Soul Coughing
Unwritten Law
Veruca Salt

This is definitely one of our favorite weekends as we celebrate the game of Baseball and the induction ceremonies of the Baseball Hall of Fame. As much as we are critical (and will continue to be) of the process of this particular Hall, the fact remains that this is the most treasured Hall of Fame in all of Sports, and on this day we would rather be congratulatory rather than mean tempered.

This weekend Cooperstown will welcome two very worthy additions in Ron Santo and Barry Larkin; both of which were players that we ranked highly on our site. Santo is a Veteran’s Committee addition, and a sabremetricians delight. The popular Chicago Cub passed away last year before he was able to see this honor that he so richly deserved. We only wish that this committee would have put him in when he was on the ballot prior, or the Baseball writers when he was on the ballot fifteen times previously.

Santo will be joined by former Cincinnati Reds Shortstop, Barry Larkin. Larkin will be entering on his second year of eligibility and is another deserving candidate.

We congratulate them again, and look forward to attending future festivities. We think that we should start doing that soon!
