1973 PRELIMINARY RESULTS:

Thank you to all who participated in the Pro Football Hall of Fame Revisited Project. If you are still determining what that is, we acted like the PFHOF had its first class in January 1946.

We have completed the first 27 years thus far.

For “1973,” a Preliminary Vote with close to 100 players whose playing career ended by 1967. 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, and the top 25 vote-getters were named Semi-Finalists.

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

Please note that a significant change occurred “years ago,” allowing voters to submit less than the allotted spots. 

30 Votes took place.

We had three other separate voting parameter surveys:

The Modern Vote remains as is with 66.67 percent of the vote.  This means that the top candidates MUST receive 50% of the final vote.

The Senior Vote also remains as is with 53.33 percent of the vote.  This means that the top candidates MUST receive 50% of the final vote.

The Contributor vote also remains as is with 63.33 percent of the vote.  This means that the top candidates MUST receive 50% of the final vote.

Next week, we will announce the Semi-Finalists for the 1973 Pro Football Hall of Fame Revisited Project.

Jesus Luzardo began his pro career with the Oakland Athletics in 2019, and during the 2021 season, the Venezuelan southpaw was traded to the Marlins; going from one perpetually cash-strapped team to another.

The starter dis not have a good 2021 (4-5, 6.44 ERA), but showed significant improvement in 2022 (4-7, 3.32 ERA) and the season after started 32 Games going 10-10 with a 3.58 ERA and 208 Strikeouts.  In 2024, Luzardo battled with injuries, and it would turn out to be his Swanson for the Marlins, as the perpetually rebuilding club traded him to Philadelphia in the offseason.

Online slots are a popular form of amusement among many players, offering a range of themes, gaming mechanisms, and opportunities to win. However, not all slot machines are equally profitable. Knowing which ones are best can significantly affect your gaming experience. The most satisfying slots usually combine high RTP (Return to Player) percentages, fascinating extra features, and fair gameplay. Here are some basic guidelines to help you spot the most satisfying online slot machines:

Review the RTP (Return to Player) Percentage

The RTP percentage of a dingdongtogel slot machine is the first factor to consider. RTP represents the amount of money a slot machine should return to players over a large number of spins. For example, a slot with a 96% RTP will potentially repay 96 cents for every $1 wagered. 

Slots with higher RTP percentages usually pay out more in the long run, although RTP is calculated over time. Before playing, always review the RTP as it is a key indicator of the profitability of the slot machine.

Search for High Volatility Slots for Major Returns

Variance, or volatility, is the degree of risk associated with a slot. Low volatility slots offer smaller, more frequent winnings, while high volatility slots offer bigger rewards but less frequently. 

High volatility slots are usually the most satisfying for gamers seeking substantial gains, especially if they hit a large win. These games can have large jackpots or highly lucrative bonus rounds. They are more suitable for players who are willing to take greater risks for the possibility of larger rewards, though they also carry the risk of longer losing streaks.

Review the Free Spins and Bonus Features

Many of the best-performing slots have interesting bonus rounds, free spins, or multipliers designed to increase your winnings. Free spins are especially rewarding because they allow you to play more without risking additional money. 

Many slots also have progressive jackpots that grow over time, offering players the chance to win enormous prizes. Look for slots with engaging bonus features that could boost your earnings, as bonus rounds often provide more payout opportunities and can result in bigger winnings.

Consider the Paylines and Betting Options

The payout potential of a slot machine can vary depending on the paylines and available betting options. Many good slots also allow players to choose their wager amount, providing greater flexibility in how much they stake per spin. 

A slot with multiple betting options helps you manage your bankroll effectively while giving you the chance to win big. Understanding the payline structure and betting options helps players select the slot machine that suits their financial preferences and gaming style.

Select Games from Reliable Software Vendors

Choosing dingdongtogel slots from reputable companies ensures that the games are reliable and offer a fair chance to win. Prominent game developers guarantee that their games are fair-tested and provide an engaging gaming experience with excellent visuals, sound, and gameplay. Their slots are also among the most satisfying choices, as these producers often incorporate interesting bonus features, progressive jackpots, and high RTP percentages.

By paying close attention to these important factors, players can make informed decisions and increase their chances of winning. Whether you prefer slots with regular smaller rewards or high-volatility games with big jackpots, there are plenty of exciting options available. Understanding the game principles and choosing your slots wisely will help you maximize your chances for a successful and enjoyable online slot experience.

Yes, we know that this is taking a while!

As many of you know, we at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the top 50 of each major North American sports team. That being said, we have existing Top 50 lists and consistently look to update them when necessary and based on necessity. As such, we are delighted to present our post-2024 revision of our top 50 Los Angeles Dodgers.

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 National League.

3.  Playoff accomplishments.

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

Please note that our algorithm has changed, which yielded minor changes throughout the baseball lists.

Last year, the Dodgers went all in on Shohei Ohtani, and it paid off immediately with the Los Angeles winning the World Series, by defeating the New York Yankees.  Amazingly, there were no new entrants based on 2024, though Max Muncy and Freddie Freeman were close.  Despite winning the MVP, on a team as old and as successful as the Dodgers, Ohtani is not ranked.

As always, we present our top five, which saw two changes based on the new algorithm.

1. Clayton Kershaw

2. Jackie Robinson

3. Sandy Koufax

4. Don Drysdale

5. Duke Snider

You can find the entire list here.

Within the top five, Robinson rockets up to #2 from #6.   His importance in the game could easily place him at the top, but that is another list completely.

Mookie Betts shot up from #46 to #31 and with the new algorithm, Outfielder Andre Ethier comes in at #50.

We thank you for your continued support of our lists on Notinhalloffame.com.
