The problem with running a Hall of Fame-related website is that many of the big ones we cover all have announcements within months of each other.  The backbone of what we do is list-related, so this results in a long push to revise what we already have; specifically, now with our Football and Basketball Lists.

At present, we have a minor update as we have completed the eleventh ten of the 2024 Football List, which you can comment on and vote on:

The new 101 to 110:

101. Dave Grayson
102. Justin Smith
103. George Kunz
104. Bucko Kilroy
105. Jim Hart
106. Ben Coates
107. Tobin Rote
108. Aqib Talib*
109. Olin Kreutz
110. Shane Lechler

Regular visitors of Notinhalloffame.com know that we are slowly working on the top 50 of every major team in the NHL, NBA, NFL, and MLB. Once that is done, we will look at how each team honors its past players, coaches, and executives. As such, it is important to us that the Pittsburgh Pirates have announced that Barry Bonds, Jim Leyland and Manny Sanguillen to their franchise Hall of Fame,

This will be the third class, and the trio will be officially inducted during their home game on August 24.

Bonds was drafted in the first round in 1985 and made his Pirates debut the following year. Blasting 176 Home Runs with 556 RBIs for Pittsburgh, he propelled them to three straight playoffs (1990-92), and won the MVP in 1990 and 1992, with a second-place finish in 1991.  In addition, from ’90 to ’92, Bonds led the NL in bWAR, and won each year's Silver Slugger and Gold Glove.  He went on to win five more MVPs with the San Francisco Giants.

Bonds enters with his longtime manager, Jim Leyland, who months earlier was selected by the Veteran’s Committee to enter the Baseball Hall of Fame.  Leyland was their manager from 1986 to 1996, and had a record of 851-863, which was impressive considering that he did have a lot of talent to work with.

A Pirate for 12 of his 13 MLB Seasons, Sanguillen had 1,343 Hits, was a three-time All-Star and won two World Series rings with the club.

We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to congratulate Bonds, Leyland and Sanguillen for this impending honor.
