Yes, we know that this is taking a while!

As many of you know, we here at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the 50 of each major North American sports team.  That being said, we have existing Top 50 lists out and we always consistently look to update them when we can and based on necessity.  As such, we are very happy to present our post 2022 revision of our top Oakland Athletics.

As for all of our top 50 players in baseball we look at the following:

1.  Advanced Statistics.

2.  Traditional statistics and how they finished in the American League.

3.  Playoff accomplishments.

4.  Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles not reflected in a stat sheet.

Last year, the Oakland continued their tradition as a basement dweller, that develop talent only to trade them when they can no longer afford them.  This makes it very difficult for anyone to crack the Top 50, and no one was able to do so in 2022, but we wanted to show that this reflects the last season. 

As always, we present our top five, which was not affected by the last season:

1. Lefty Grove

2. Rickey Henderson

3. Eddie Plank

4. Jimmie Foxx

5. Al Simmons

You can find the entire list here.

We welcome your input and comments and as always, we thank you for your support.

There were a lot of good releases in the past year - pop, new wave, rock, hip-hop, electronica, experimental music and more. Microgaming online casinos, like the diverse music genres released in 2022, offer a variety of games to suit different preferences.

Let's discuss in more detail the albums that have graced and changed the musical landscape of 2022.

"Fossora" – Björk

"Fossora" is Björk's first self-produced album. Deep and challenging, it explores themes of land and family; it was even recorded in the singer's native Iceland, with her children acting as backing singers and co-writers. "Fossora" demands effort from the listener - it's complex, intricate and, despite everything, sincere material on the verge of poetry. Make an effort - it's worth it.

"L'Emprise" - Mylene Farmer

Mylène Farmer works without Laurent Boutonne again - and that's just what she needs. Woodkid, Moby and Darius Keeler of Archive understand her just as well. With Woodkid, she succeeds with triumphantly tragic songs, with Moby with uplifting ones and with Keeler with self-deprecating ones. But the protagonist of "L'Emprise" is Farmer herself: her realm of melancholy where she unreservedly rules.

"Impera" – Ghost

Many people nowadays consider heavy rock an outdated, "outdated" genre - and in vain. Ghost's "Impera" is proof of that: there are powerful riffs, catchy melodies, and some theatricality, as well as a serious stadium application. It's no coincidence that the album was noticed by rock and metal publications and the "pop" PopMatters and NME. The Grammy committee couldn't miss it either - "Call Me Little Sunshine" was nominated for Best Metal Performance.

"Just Like That" - Bonnie Raitt.

A great album for those who like traditional 1970s and 1980s style pop-rock. Bonnie Raitt is the star of that era, so no one could have done it better. Raitt wrote almost half of the songs from Just Like That and produced the record herself. Her voice remains wonderfully resonant and catchy: it's impossible to believe that "Just Like That" is sung by someone who celebrated her 73rd birthday in November.

"Entering Heaven Alive" - Jack White

Of Jack White's two albums released in 2022, «Entering Heaven Alive» deserves more interest. Everyone is used to the musician's guitar solos, but on this record, he reveals himself as a talented performer of folk and country ballads. White has recorded similar tracks before, but after "Entering Heaven Alive", he makes you want to hear another such album.

"A Light for Attracting Attention" - The Smile

Instead of a new Radiohead record, fans got the debut release of The Smile, a new project from the two band members. "A Light for Attracting Attention" was almost the best album in the tandem of Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood. It is similar to Radiohead in general mood, though it differs from their work - first of all, combining clever musical structures and minimalism in a different sound.

"Wet Leg" - Wet Leg

Women's indie rock duo from the UK, Wet Leg, have gotten everyone's attention. They are critically acclaimed and invited to festivals - they are even due to perform at the iconic Glastonbury in 2023. "Wet Leg" is an expressive and moderately upbeat release. That's what a modern pandemic rock album should be. Surprisingly solid, robust and full of nuance, "Wet Leg" is an outstanding debut.

"Profound Mysteries" - Royksopp

"Profound Mysteries" is not an album but an entire trilogy universe from the legendary Norwegian electro duo Royksopp. All parts of "Profound Mysteries" are a bit uneven, but some songs are great, while others are just plain good. Excellent arrangements and a first-rate selection of vocalists make "Profound Mysteries" one of the best projects of 2022.

Wrestlemania is coming fast and furious, and we now know our third entrant to the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2023, which is Andy Kaufman.

Kaufman was a popular actor and comedian, who was the breakout star of the sitcom, Taxi.  Always enamoured with pro wrestling, Kaufman incorporated intergender wrestling into his act, and worked that into a money-making angle in Memphis with Jerry “The King” Lawler, that would bleed across Saturday Night Live and Late Night With David Letterman.  

We assume that it will be Lawler who will be doing the induction.

This is long overdue, and when the WWE first added a celebrity wing, this is the man who should have spearheaded it.  

It will be a posthumous induction, as Kaufman passed aay from cancer in 1983.
