1951 SEMI-FINAL RESULTS:

Thank you for all of you who have participated in the Pro Football Hall of Fame Revisited Project, and if you are unaware of what that is, simply, we acted as if the PFHOF had their first class in January of 1946?

We have completed the first two years, where a Preliminary, Semi-Final and Final vote for the 1946 Class, which inducted two full classes

For “1950” a Preliminary Vote with 128 players whose playing career ended by 1943. We are also following the structure in that players have 20 years of eligibility, and if they do not make it into the Hall, they are relegated to the Senior Pool.

Each voter was asked to select 25 names from the preliminary list, with the top 25 vote getters named as Semi-Finalists.

A week later, the voters were asked to pick 15 names from the 25 Semi-Finalists, and next week, they will pick five from the remaining 15. We will continue this process weekly until we catch up to the current year.

30 Votes took place

Evan Mobley was the 2021 Pac-12 Player of the Year, and was grabbed by the Cleveland Cavaliers with the Third Overall Pick in the following draft.

The Power Forward was a n immediate starter, averaging 15.0 Points per Game as a rookie, and earned a First Team All-Rookie Selection.  Last season, Mobley was part of a rising Cleveland squad that added Donovan Mitchell.  Mobley increased his PPG to 16.2, and led the NFL in Defensive Win Shares (4.9).  He was also named to the All-Defensive Team.

Mobley still was good in his third season (15.7 PTS and 3.2 Steals per Game) but only played 50 Games due to knee issues.  Providing Mobley stays with Cleveland, we could see a potential top ten player on this list, especially of the trending upwards Cavs.

San Diego Padres slugger, Nelson Cruz, has announced his retirement today.

Cruz played 19 seasons in the Majors, six of which saw him make the All-Star Game, began in Milwaukee, but he broke out as a Texas Ranger, where he has his first two All-Stars, though was suspended for 50 Games in 2013 for his participating in the Biogenesis Scandal.  He signed with the Baltimore Orioles in 2014 for a year where he won his first and only Home Run Title, and followed that with four years in Seattle, where he produced two more 40-plus HR years, and won the RBI Title in 2017. 

He later plated with Minnesota for two-and-a-half seasons, again posting a 40 HR year (2019), and would finish his career with brief stops in Tampa Bay, Washington and San Diego.  Cruz belted 464 Home Runs over his career, which places him 37^th all-time.  He also has a lifetime Slugging Percentage of .813, won four Silver Sluggers and two Edgar Martinez Awards.

Cruz is eligible for the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2029, though his induction is unlikely due to his PED suspension.

We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to wish Nelson Cruz the best in his post-playing career.

Six-time All-Star, Walter Davis, passed away today at the age of 69.

Davis was a First Team All-ACC player at the University of North Carolina, and won Gold at the 1976 Olympics for the United States.  Drafted ninth overall by the Phoenix Suns in 1977, Davis won the Rookie of the Year, and appeared in all of his All-Stars as a Sun.  He also played professional for Denver and Portland, and was one of the few deep threats of his day.

He accumulated 19,521 Points over his career, and had six 20-plus PPG seasons.  Davis was also twice a Second Team All-NBA selection.

Davis is ranked #13 on our Notinhalloffame.com list of those to consider for the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame, and his #8 was retired by the Suns.

We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to extend our condolences to the fans, friends and family of Walter Davis.
