Playing all but one game of his career with the Pittsburgh Pirates, Babe Adams was one of the best control Pitchers of his day.

We are going way back for this one, as the career of Tommy Bond began in 1874, where he became the first Irish born baseball player to be a professional.

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 pre-2021 revision of our top 50 Miami Dolphins of all-time.

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

1.  Advanced Statistics.

2.  Traditional statistics and how they finished in the NFL. 

3.  Playoff accomplishments.

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

This is our first revision after our inaugural unveiling, only one new entry.

As always, we present our top five here.

1. Dan Marino

2. Jason Taylor

3. Zach Thomas

4. Bob Griese

5. Jim Langer

You can find the entire list here.

Cornerback, Xavien Howard, is the lone debut, coming in at #49.

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

When you do long lists, it takes you a long time to do revisions.

Recently, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame announced the belated Class of 2021, which was originally intended to be announced last December.  This means that we had some work to do at Notinhalloffame.com, and this involved three components:

Remove those who were chosen.  This means that Kraftwerk, Jay-Z, Foo Fighters, Todd Rundgren, Gil Scott-Heron, Tina Turner, The Go-Go’s, Carole King, LL Cool J and Billy Preston.

Add those who are now eligible for the next class.

Alter those ranked based on your comments and votes.

Seems simple enough, right?

Let’s move on!

Our entire list can be found here, but we would like to present our new top ten.

Eminem is his first year of eligibility, and he takes over the number one spot.  There should be no doubt in anyone’s mind that he will enter on his first year of eligibility.

Oasis moves up from #4 to #2.  While there should not be any dispute of their Hall of Fame credentials, the British rockers would not likely attend the ceremony…especially with each other.

Jethro Tull climbs back to #3, which equals their highest previous rank.  Despite being eligible since the 1993 vote, the progressive rock group have never been nominated.

The Smiths go to #4, which is also their highest ranking.  The have been nominated twice before, 2015 & 2016.

At #5, Gram Parsons cracks the top five for the first time.  Parsons has been nominated three times before, but the last was way back in 2005.

MC5 inched up one rank to #6, which matches their highest previous rank.

Judas Priest, who was nominated in 2018 and 2020, achieve their highest rank yet with #7, two higher than last year.

Willie Nelson moves up from #10 to #8.

Iron Maiden cracks the top ten for the first time at #9.  They also received their first nomination last year.

New Order returns to the top ten, edging up one spot.

There are other new additions to our list:

Nickelback (#98), Spoon (#130), The Hives (#199), Fiona Apple (#232), Matchbox Twenty (#256), Fatboy Slim(#283), Shakira (#295), The Spice Girls (#353), Mogwai (#433), Staind (#444), Placebo (#503), and Doves (#561).

Eventually (and we know we said this many times) we will expand this list to an even 1,000.  We will get there, we promise!

You know what we want you to do!

Cast your votes, and give us your opinions.

As always, we thank you for your support.
