RIP: Yogi Berra

It is a sad day for Baseball, the New York Yankees and the witticisms as Yogi Berra passed away at the age of 90 due to natural causes.
The Hall of Fame Catcher and three time American League MVP was one of the best hitting Catchers of all time and holds the distinction of playing in more World Series Games than anyone else. Berra would win ten World Series rings as a player and three as a coach and would retire as a player with 358 Home Runs and 1,430 Runs Batted In.
The popular Catcher would become known not only for his on field play but for his expressions, the top of which we ripped off from an ESPN article this morning.
10. "It's like deja vu all over again."
9. "You better cut the pizza in four pieces because I'm not hungry enough to eat six."
8. "The future ain't what it used to be."
7. "We made too many wrong mistakes."
6. "Nobody goes there anymore. It's too crowded."
5. "You can observe a lot just by watching."
4. "You should always go to other people's funerals; otherwise, they won't come to yours."
3. "When you come to a fork in the road, take it."
2. "Baseball is 90 percent mental. The other half is physical."
1. "It ain't over 'til it's over."
While Berra’s life may be over his Yogi-isms will forever live on as will his memory.
We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to offer condolences to the friends and family of Yogi Berra at this time.

Coming Soon

You know that we here at Notinhalloffame.com never take our foot off the pedal right?
Here is what we have that is coming soon on our website!
You have all seen that the Finalists are up for our Fictitious Athlete Hall of Fame. Hopefully you have voted, or will be soon, but there is still time to vote for our other Fictional Hall of Fame, The Fictitious Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, which will announce the first ever, class on October 6, based on your online votes.
In a month, we will be updating the Football Futures where we will allow you to give your opinion on players who will become eligible from 2017 to 2020 and if they should be ranked in our elite Notinhalloffame.com Football 100.
In what could be one of the more controversial (or maybe most popular section in our site) we have received correspondence from a man identifying himself as “Dr. Johnny Pervert”. He is looking to provide to us the 250 hottest females in sports, and while that isn’t exactly our wheelhouse, we are a list based site, so why not!
We are finally getting around to our top fifty players for each North American franchise, a list that will continually be updated upon the end of each season. The end goal is to slowly roll out one team each month, and as always, seek your input as to their respective impact with each organization. The first team should be unveiled by mid to late October.
You have also noticed that we have almost completed the active Hockey Hall of Fame inductees on the site, so that you can let us know whether those inducted should be there. After we do that, and update the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees and WWE Hall of Fame inductees, we will begin adding the Basketball Hall of Fame inductees.
Is there a list you want us to do, or perhaps you would like to make one for us?
Let us know, and as always we thank you for your support!
