Not in Hall of Fame News
It is always onward and upward for us at Notinhalloffame.com, and as such we wanted to take the time to update our Football Futures section. This is the portion of the website where you have the opportunity to let us know your opinion as whether retired players who are not yet eligible for the Pro Football Hall of Fame should be enshrined in Canton. This process also helps us establish where these players should be ranked once eligible.
We already had the Football Futures from 2016, 2017 and 2018 up, and recently we have updated our 2017 Football Futures and our2018 Football Futures Section, and recently we unveiled the brand new 2019 Football Futures Section.
We have one more section in Football that we put up, and yes, you guessed correctly with the new 2020 Football Futures.

Darnell Dockett, a Defensive Tackle who was a three time Pro Bowl Selection and played his entire career with the Arizona Cardinals.
John Abraham, a Defensive End who was a five time Pro Bowler, a two Time First Team All Pro and a member of the 100 Sack club.
Justin Smith, a Defensive End who was a former Defensive Player of the Year and a five time Pro Bowl Selection.

Mat McBriar, a Punter who was a two time Pro Bowler who twice led the NFL in Yards per Punt.
Maurice Jones-Drew, a Running Back who was a three time Pro Bowl Selection and was twice named the NFL Alumni Running Back of the Year.
Michael Roos, an Offensive Tackle who went to one Pro Bowl.
Nick Hardwick, a Center who went to one Pro Bowl and played his entire career with the San Diego Chargers.
Osi Umenyiora, a Defensive End who won the Super Bowl twice with the New York Giants and was also a two time Pro Bowl Selection.
Patrick Willis, a Linebacker who went to seven Pro Bowls and was chosen for five First Team All Pro teams.

Hockey HOF Class of 2015 officially inducted
Nov 08, 2015

Not in Hall of Fame News
Yesterday, the Hockey Hall of Fame officially inducted the Class of 2015 and it was certainly an international affair as players from four countries entered the hallowed hall of Toronto. This is the second consecutive year that this has occurred, and follows induction cases of 2011 and 2012 that had players from three different countries enter.
Representing Sweden, this year’s headliner is Swedish born Defenceman, Niklas Lidstrom, the seven time Norris Trophy winner who anchored the Detroit Red Wings to four Stanley Cups. Lidstrom is undeniably the top Defenceman of the 2000’s and also holds a Conn Smythe Trophy in his trophy case.
Lidstrom’s longtime teammate and roommate on the road, Sergei Fedorov also got in. The Russian born star won the Hart Trophy in 1994 and is a two time recipient of the Frank J. Selke as the NHL’s top Defensive Forward. He would win three Stanley Cup Wings with the Red Wings.
The American representatives are two Defenceman. Phil Housely, and eight time NHL All Star from St. Paul, Minnesota and Angela Ruggiero, a long time defender for the U.S. women’s team.
The lone Canadian player is another blueliner in Chris Pronger who won both the Norris and Hart Trophy in 2000. The native of Dryden, Ontario would also make five All Star Teams and win the Stanley Cup with the Anaheim Ducks in 2007.
Hockey Hall of Fame CEO, Bill Hay and Carolina Panthers owner, Peter Karmanos Jr, rounds out the class.
We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to again extend our congratulations to this new class.

Aramis Ramirez Retires
Nov 06, 2015
Published in
Not in Hall of Fame News
After an 18 year career in Major League Baseball, Aramis Ramirez, a third baseman who last played with the Pittsburgh Pirates officially announced his retirement on a radio station in his native Dominican Republic. This was not a surprise as in spring training this year (then playing for the Milwaukee Brewers) Ramirez said that this would be his final season as a player.
Ramirez leaves the game with some impressive accolades. He was a three time All Star, a one time Silver Slugger and would finish in the top ten in MVP voting three times. Statistically, he leaves the game with 386 Home Runs and 2,303 Hits and led the National League in Doubles in 2012. He would play his entire career in the National League, beginning (and ending) his career with the Pittsburgh Pirates with lengthy stints with the Chicago Cubs and Milwaukee Brewers along the way.
We always ask the question here at Notinhalloffame.com when we have a retirement as to whether that said player is HOF caliber. While Ramirez had a very good career, his numbers, especially poor defense resulting in a career bWAR of 32.1 isn’t one that will cut it in the modern thought process, and he will struggle to gain more than a handful of votes in 2021, the first year that he becomes Hall of Fame eligible.
While Aramis Ramirez has completed his service to Major League Baseball, he will do a farewell tour in his native Dominican Republic playing for Tigres del Licey in the Dominican Winter League.
We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to wish Aramis Ramirez the best of luck in his post-MLB career.
