We here at Notinhalloffame mourn the loss of Baseball Hall of Famer, Duke Snider who passed away today.  Snider was one of the All Time great Dodgers, and he entered the Hall of Fame in 1980.  The former eight time All Star, and constant MVP threat in the 1950's blted 407 Home Runs in his illustrious career.   "The Duke of Flatbush" had his number #4 retired by the Dodgers in 1980.  It was a well deserved honor. 

"Hacksaw" Jim Duggan has been announced as the second selection to the WWE Hall of Fame. 

The Glens Falls native was recently an active competitor in the WWE and has been on very good terms with Stamford for the past few years.  Duggan was the first ever winner of the Royal Rumble and one of the top baby faces for the Fed for years.  We had Hacksaw ranked at #59 and congratulate him on his most recent accomplishment!

We guess this is the season where All Stars are retiring.  Jim Edmonds, who on four occasions was a Major League All Star announced that he is calling it a career after seventeen campaigns in the bigs.  His announcement has not made a lot of people think of Cooperstown, and the odds are strong that he is a "one and done" when eligible, but is it possible that a case could made?

Jim Edmonds finished his career with 393 career Home Runs and an RBI short of 1,200.  His career OPS is a very respectable .903 and twice he finished in the top 5 in the MVP race.  He was a great fielder earning eight Gold Gloves and he has a lifetime WAR of 68.3.  Not too shabby isn't it?  Still, Edmonds played primarilly in an era where his numbers were overshadowed by others and he was never the best player on his team.  Still, an overall look at his career shows that maybe Jim Edmonds should not be a one and done candidate. 

What do you think?
