We here at Notinhalloffame.com thought it would be fun to take a look at the major awards in North American team sports and see how it translates into Hall of Fame potential.

Needless to say, different awards in different sports yield hall of fame potential.  In basketball, the team sport with the least amount of players on a roster, the dividend for greatness much higher.  In baseball, it is not as much as a great individual season does not have the same impact.
It was announced today that Glenn Frey died at the age of 67.  It is unknown at this time how he died but according to TMZ.com, he had been battling intestinal issues for the past few months. 

Frey was a founding member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, The Eagles, and wrote or co-wrote many of the band’s songs.  Frey was also the lead singer for many of their hit songs, including “Take It Easy”, “Tequila Sunrise”, “Peaceful Easy Feeling”, “Lyin’ Eyes”, “Already Gone”, “Heartache Tonight” and “New Kid In Town”.

Following the breakup of the Eagles in 1980, Glenn Frey would embark on a successful solo career with hit singles like “Smugglers Blues” and “You Belong to the City” and would have guest spots on Miami Vice.  Frey’s biggest solo hit was from the Beverly Hills Cop Soundtrack, with “The Heat is On”.

The Eagles would get back together in 1994 and would have one of the most successful concert tours of all time. 

We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to extend our condolences to the friends and family of Glenn Frey at this time.

Our long and arduous work in progress of ranking the top fifty players for every North American sports team is underway, but after that is completed we will then take a look how each franchise honors their own in terms of respective franchise halls of fame, ring of honors, retired numbers and statues.

As such, it is important to us to make notice that the Detroit Pistons retired the number 3 of Ben Wallace last night in a ceremony during halftime of their home game against the Golden State Warriors.

Wallace was a four time NBA Defensive Player of the Year who was a member of the 2004 NBA Championship Team.  As a Piston, “Big Ben” was a four time All Star averaging 6.6 Points and 11.1 Rebounds per Game with a 16.5 PER.

The retirement of Wallace’s number marks the eighth time that the Detroit Pistons have retired a number.  Wallace is eligible for the Basketball Hall of Fame in 2017

We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to congratulate Ben Wallace for receiving this prestigious honor. 

The Green Bay Pakcers, the team with the largest Hall of Fame membership in North American sports has announced that Chad Clifton, Nick Collins and Russ Winnie will be the three members who will comprise the Class of 2016.

Chad Clifton would play twelve seasons with the Packers, starting 160 Games after 165 Games Played.  The Offensive Lineman was a second draft pick in 2000, was selected for the Pro Bowl twice and was a member of the Packers Super Bowl XLV Championship Team.

Clifton will be joined by another second round pick, 2005 selection, Nick Collins.  Collins would also play for the Super Bowl XLV Champions, and would have a Pick Six in the big game.  He would also become the first Packers Safety since LeRoy Butler to make three consecutive Pro Bowls.      

Russ Winnie was the radio announcer for the Packers from 1929 to 1946 and covered six NFL Championships.

The Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame will have their induction banquet on July 23.

We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to congratulate the latest class for the Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame.
